Sacramento Consortium for Empowering Early Educators (SacE3) Program

The Sacramento Consortium for Empowering Early Educators (SacE3) is a local partnership that was formed to increase and support a highly qualified early learning and care workforce. SacE3 is made up of school districts, charter schools, early learning and care providers, institutions of higher education, and community partners. The Early Learning Department at the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) was selected to receive a grant from the California Department of Education to create and coordinate the partnership.

Joyful Literacy is a culturally and linguistically sustaining, inclusive, and whole child approach to language and literacy learning. The approach integrates evidence-based early literacy practices with playful learning, creativity through the arts, and social–emotional development. The goal is for children to simultaneously develop strong literacy skills, feel a sense of belonging, and experience joy. Educators with a joyful literacy mindset model enthusiasm, demonstrate joy, promote playfulness, nurture creativity, and cultivate cultural and linguistic pluralism. Children thrive when educators establish academically rich, culturally sustaining, and positive teaching and learning experiences daily. 
Joyful Literacy materials are open-source and can be found here: https://bit.ly/JLPadlet To bring Joyful Literacy to your community, contact us at ten.eocs%403EcaS.
