Periodic Data Collection: READ Training Completion (Teacher and Admin)

Overview

The Colorado READ Act requires districts to report specific student, school, and district level data to CDE to determine and report on the important milestones in implementing key provisions of S.B. 19-199. The information provided in these reports is intended to assist the Department, the State Board of Education, the Governor, and the public in monitoring the implementation of and identifying the results achieved in implementing the Colorado READ Act.

Districts must annually ensure and report that all K-3 teachers who provide literacy instruction to students in grades K-3 and all teachers who provide reading intervention in grades 4-12 have successfully completed evidence-based training in teaching reading. Districts must also report K-3 principals/administrators and/or personnel who the LEP determines meet the statute criteria as needing to complete the K-3 Principal/Administrator training.
