Enhancing Literacy in Oregon: A Comprehensive Framework for Education
The Oregon Literacy Plan Framework focuses on three essential elements to elevate literacy outcomes: raising expectations, increasing capacity, and measuring progress. It encompasses three sets of standards—Learning, Teaching, and System Standards—covering traditional and emerging literacy, including early childhood, content area literacy, and academic language. The framework emphasizes the importance of technology, professional development, and summative assessments. It aims to equip educators with strategies to support student learning and enhance literacy through collaborative efforts and community input.
