@AsmKevinMcCarty RICA does not test bilingual approaches to reading instruction which are effective for all students (Berens, Kovelman, & Petitto, 2013) and can be used by all teachers (Joseph & Evans, 2018). Join @CalTog to #StrengthenLiteracy in CA by supporting #SB614!

@AsmChristySmith Instead of the RICA, California should strengthen reading instruction by requiring coursework in teacher education that reflects the growing science of reading and the state’s current ELA/ELD standards. Support #SB614 and #ReplaceRICA with a better assessment!

@Ash_Kalra; The RICA is not aligned to current ELA standards (CTC, 2018), and does not properly address the needs of English learners or students with special needs (CTC, 2018). Join @CalTog to Support #SB614 and #ReplaceRICA with a better assessment!

@KevinKileyCA #SB614 will replace RICA, an outdated literacy exam for teacher candidates, with a performance-based assessment that will better test teacher preparation & help new teachers get into the classroom. Help #StrengthenLiteracy in CA by supporting SB 614!
