The mission of the California Reading and Literature Project  (CRLP) is to provide high quality, standards-based professional development in reading and language instruction to help ensure that every California student achieves the highest standards of academic performance.

CRLP Collaborates with partnership districts to support and sustain continuous improvement, including the implementation of State Board adopted instructional materials.

The UC Irvine/Orange County CRLP region is part of a network of California Reading and Literature Projects across California (http://csmp.ucop.edu/crlp/).  CRLP is also a part of a statewide professional development network comprised of the nine disciplines required for university admission (UC and CSU) and graduation from high school.  Together we form the California Subject Matter Projects (http://csmp.ucop.edu).
