The Regional Technical Assistance Center (R-TAC) for the California Reading First Plan works to support Reading First Districts (LEA’s) in 7 counties in the Greater Bay Area. It is managed by, and located at, the Alameda County Office of Education. Besides providing technical assistance, it monitors the implementation of the Reading First Sub Grant Assurances to whose adherence all participating districts have committed.
Our RTAC facilitates the compliance with the Assurances by serving as a center for providing information and communication; responding to inquiries; providing or connecting with professional development on the reading materials for coaches in coordination with the California Technical Assistance Center (C-TAC); making school monitoring visits and/or additional visits for feedback, and establishing networking opportunities.
