LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1703, as amended, Bloom.
University of California: California Collaborative for Neurodiversity and Learning.
Existing law establishes the University of California under the administration of the Regents of the University of California and the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state.
This bill would require the University of California, Los Angeles, Angeles and the California State University, Dominguez Hills, and along with California State
University campuses serving the Los Angeles Basin selected by the trustees trustees, to form a neurodiversity and learning collaborative to, among other things, identify and develop the links between brain research and classroom practice. The bill would require the collaborative to provide leadership for the development and testing of new classroom interventions and teaching practices for literacy learning based on brain research at 8 to 10 public schools, as specified. The bill would require the collaborative to support the development of a progressive teacher training curriculum to be integrated into professional preparation programs leading to a preliminary teaching credential, approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, that
will have a long-term impact on supporting neurodiverse learners, as specified. The bill would provide that the operation of these provisions is contingent on the enactment of an appropriation in the annual Budget Act for these purposes, and that these provisions apply to the University of California only to the extent that the regents act, by appropriate resolution, to make these provisions applicable.
