Digital Learning: Resources for foundational practices that will apply to districts implementing new online programs, designing for blended learning, and/or leading for reimagination of teaching and learning. The ultimate aim of the resources contained here is to reduce existing inequity and increase learning and belonging.
Educator Advancement Council: The Educator Advancement Council is an innovative partnership aimed at helping Oregon achieve high-quality, well-supported and culturally-responsive public educators in every classroom.
Educator Effectiveness: Supporting the evaluation and professional growth of educators.
Essential Skills: Information and resources on the nine cross-disciplinary skills that students should be developing across grades K- 12.
Instructional Materials: Instructional materials used in Oregon’s classrooms need to reflect the most current information and research and be aligned to academic content standards. To this end, these instructional materials are subject, by law, to a review process and must meet established specifications and criteria in order to be approved by the State Board of Education for use in classrooms.
Oregon Mentoring Project: A program where veteran teachers and administrators help those entering the profession.
Oregon Open Learning: Oregon’s K-12 Open Educational Resources (OER) Repository. OER are defined as teaching and learning materials that may freely be used and reused at no cost and without needing to ask permission. Unlike copyrighted resources, OER have been authored or created by an individual or organization that chooses to retain few, if any, ownership rights.
Standards and Instructional Support: The academic content standards define what students should know and be able to do within a content area at specific stages in their education. In addition to setting and supporting the academic content standards, the goal of the Standards and Instructional Support team is to ensure that every learner’s strengths are recognized and their skills are developed through the opportunity to receive high-quality instruction, programming and services.
Student Assessment: Oregon's State Assessment System provides equity-centered tools and resources that help inform instructional decisions from the classroom to the state level. Educators and administrators use state tests, performance assessments, and other forms of assessments to measure how well the education system is serving students and determine how best to support them moving forward.
