Dr. Charlene Williams, ODE’s agency director, has made “Reimagining Oregon’s Accountability System" one of her first priorities. In collaboration with Governor Tina Kotek, they are working together to engage Oregonians in the following questions to support the development of a new framework for accountability in Oregon.
- What does a truly excellent educational experience look like for Oregon students now and over the next decade?
- Are school leaders and policy makers aligned to the right goals?
- How do we know if Oregon’s schools are successful in these endeavors?
- How does ODE best support working towards that success?
These important questions, and ones like them, have been raised by Oregon families, educators, students, school leaders, tribes, business leaders, and policy makers.
In the 2023 legislative session,
House Bill 2656 was passed, calling for an advisory committee and recommendations to do just this kind of work.
