Chair's Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Literacy, Early, Bilingual, and Special Education!
The professors assembled to work in the department came from a variety of different places and have different expertise. Our goal is to lead the Central Valley of California in ideas concerning literacy instruction, early childhood education and English language development. We seek to innovative, inspiring, responsive, research-based and above all, scholarly. We pledge to:
1. Teach effective approaches to reading and writing instruction, English language development, bilingual education, and early childhood education to beginning teachers (credential) and master teachers (master's and reading specialist credential).
2. Publish and present research and theory about meaningful and productive classroom practice.
3. Serve the community by providing and disseminating that knowledge to education professionals and serve the university in self-governance.
