Division 22 Standards Newsletter
Stay Up to Speed and In the Know
ODE's Division 22 Standards Newsletter is a publication designed to provide Oregon district and school leaders with just in time, up-to-date information on Oregon's Standards for Public Schools. In each issue, we highlight new requirements that have been recently adopted by the State Board of Education, so you'll be prepared to implement them in the coming year. The recurring feature "Unpack this OAR" focuses on clarifying rules that can be confusing and that are commonly misinterpreted. You'll also want to keep an eye out for the "Standards Spotlight" where you'll find insights on how the standards intersect with current issues and trends in K-12 education.
If there is a rule or a topic, you'd like to see covered, or if you'd like to be added to the Division 22 mailing list, let us know by emailing
Division22@ode.oregon.gov.
