Accomplish Strategic Learning Objectives
The California Mission
The California Department of Education’s vision is rooted in equity, access, and excellence for every student, ensuring that schools provide the knowledge and skills students need to thrive in college, career, and civic life. To realize this mission, California schools and districts are called to:
- Close persistent achievement gaps by expanding access to high-quality instruction for all learners.
- Provide students with diverse opportunities to explore pathways that prepare them for the broadest possible range of careers and life goals.
- Encourage creativity, student agency, and authentic collaboration between learners and educators.
- Support educators in implementing innovative, engaging, and inclusive programs.
- Partner with families and communities to ensure student success at every stage of learning.
Drawing on decades of research—and meeting the urgent needs of tomorrow’s workforce—SmartLab Learning offers California educators a dynamic, hands-on solution for preparing the state’s next generation of innovators, leaders, and problem-solvers.
