Big 3 Foundational Instructional Strategies
In response to a request made at the January 27, 2025 Superintendent meeting, the Lake County Office of Education (LCOE) is leading a countywide effort to identify and elevate three high-leverage academic strategies, referred to as The BIG 3, that will be implemented consistently across all classrooms in Lake County.
Teacher Support
The focus of Educational Services is on improving student achievement in Lake County through partnership and support with our local school districts.
Many initiatives and programs come under the Educational Services umbrella, which includes:
- Research-based professional development for Lake County educators.
- Support for administrative credentialing.
- District support, including assistance and oversight with the Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAP), and differentiated assistance, through our Professional Learning Network.
- Curriculum and standards support and implementation:
- Leadership in Multi-Tiered System of Support and Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports, to help staff support students in their academic, behavioral and social emotional needs.
Lake County Strong Curriculum
A partnership between the Lake County Tribes and the Lake County Office of Education (LCOE) has resulted in a new curriculum dedicated to the history of the Lake County Pomo.
