Over a three-year period beginning in 2020, Grass Valley School District, located in Nevada County, was able to implement strategies that improved literacy instruction and outcomes for students. Policy Analysis for California Education’s (PACE) brief “Building Momentum One Step at a Time Grass Valley School District’s Progress Towards P–3 Coherence in Literacy,” published in December, covers the district’s engagement in California Education Partners’ Preschool through Third Grade Coherence Collaboration (P3CC). The district team, “implemented new literacy assessments and instructional practices, particularly in phonics instruction,” according to the brief. “The collaboration’s approach emphasized teacher leadership, internal accountability, and the strategic use of data, which shifted the district’s culture towards one more conducive to continuous improvement.”
