Services

The services available through the Fresno County Office of Education incorporate the entire "Curriculum & Instruction" Team. This includes a team of experienced and successful school leaders in district and site leadership, curriculum, and coaching.This team can support a district/school in all areas of support, including district level administrative support, including training for boards of education, to in classroom coaching of teachers, and classroom model lessons. The C&I Team offers a full range of school improvement supports.

What is Multilingual California?

The Multilingual California Project Grant (MCaP) is a 3-year grant that was awarded in March 2020 to five County Offices through the California Department of Education Educator Workforce Investment Grant Program (EWIG). This grant is intended to support professional learning opportunities for teachers, parents, and paraprofessional across the state in developing their understanding and implementation of the California English Learner Roadmap Policy. To find out more about this grant and to explore the curated resources, we invite you to visit the MCaP website.
