Professional Development Services

In an effort to provide California’s school districts with greater access to curriculum-centered and cross content professional development, the University of California Professional Development Institute (UCPDI) is inviting individual school districts and county offices of education to partner in offering our K-12 Professional Development for various Reading/Language Arts, Reading Intervention, and Mathematics curricula. UCPDI hopes to support local implementation efforts by providing a flexible and affordable professional development curriculum that meets the individual needs of each district.

SB 472 (40-hour) Training Options

Capacity Building Model - Large District/County Office Accommodation
Large districts or county offices often have significant numbers of teachers to train on varying schedules and may decide to train a cadre of content experts to deliver school site or district wide institutes throughout the year. Build in-service capacity by sending district leadership to one of UCPDI’s 3-day Instructor Trainings. Click to see more.

Subsequent 40-hour Trainings
After district leadership has been trained, all subsequent trainings regardless of size are $250 per participant because the initial instructor fee is a onetime cost. UCPDI recommends that new instructors deliver the institute in teams of two because of the significant content and language knowledge demands of the institute curriculum.
