CA TPEs Domain 7 Literacy Study Guide

California Teacher Credential Candidates and Teacher Education Faculty, 

This MoraModules News Bulletin is especially for you. I am announcing that I have posted a CA TPEs Domain 7 Literacy Study Guide for accessing modules to guide future and current educators to the pedagogical knowledge base for literacy education for multilingual learners. The Study Guide is now ready for use by teacher education faculty and teacher credential candidates for the fall semester 2026. The CA TPEs Literacy Domain 7 Study Guide replaces the Reading Instruction Competency Assessment RICA Study Guide because the RICA exam is now defunct as a result of legislation under SB 1263 Teacher Credentialing bill (Newman). This legislation reaffirmed and updated the TPA system for California’s teaching credential candidates with an emphasis on literacy assessment and teacher credentialing program accountability. Teacher education faculty are invited to view the Architecture of Literacy Domain 7 Teaching Performance Expectations.

 

Purchase access to the CA TPEs Literacy Domain 7 Study Guide by clicking on the SLO Book Companion Website Access tab on the MoraModules Home Page. This purchase includes membership in the Spanish Language Pedagogy Book Companion Website. The cost of the Study Guide bundle is $15 for a one-year membership. The SLP Book Companion Website and Literacy Domain 7 Study Guide Bundle purchase gives California teacher credential candidates and teacher education faculty access to many valuable resources for developing essential professional knowledge for teaching multilingual learners.

 

I welcome any questions about the CA TPEs Domain 7 Literacy Study Guide. I hope that it will be useful to educators who seek to be well-informed about the pedagogical knowledge base and instructional practices that address the literacy learning needs of multilingual learners in California and throughout the nation.
