The legislation directed the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) to establish a process to select one or more institutions of higher education or nonprofit organizations to conduct activities in the following areas: Professional learning activities to implement the California English Learner Roadmap Policy Special education-related professional learning Professional learning for teachers and paraprofessionals statewide in the following areas: Practices and strategies to create a positive school climate, including social-emotional learning and restorative justice Strategies for providing high-quality instruction and computer science (CS) learning experiences aligned to the 2018 California Computer Science Content Standards ( CA CS Content Standards ) Practices to support the 2020 Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Regretfully, due to the COVID-19 response, the Department of Finance requested that the funds allocated in the 2019 California State Budget for the EWIG Program: CS, the EWIG Program: Positive School Climate, Social-Emotional Learning, and Restorative Justice, and the EWIG Program: Ethnic Studies be returned and reallocated as deemed appropriate through the budget process.
Additional appropriations in subsequent fiscal years have allowed for sustained and expanded programming, including the reallocation of funds for professional learning to support high-quality instruction in CS. Activities are conducted in a manner that aligns with the statewide system of support, and, to the extent practicable, grantees coordinate activities with the California Subject Matter Projects.
