Oregon Math Educator Update - April 2020

We hope this update finds you well. Oregon math educators are amazing, and we appreciate all the support you are providing to your students, their families, and YOUR family!

Please take a few moments to reflect on the incredible work you are doing. The challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic has pulled us all in many different directions, and we are finding and developing new skills and ways of being. While experiencing this challenge together, we encourage you to find ways to care and connect with learning communities.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to the ODE Math Education Team - Mark Freed, Andy Byerley, or Tom Thompson - if you have any questions or concerns about math education in our state.

“Asking “Why?” can lead to understanding. Asking “Why not?” can lead to breakthroughs.”

Oregon Math Standards Review Update

The Oregon math standards review and revision process achieved a number of milestones this year, including a first draft completed by grade level teams in January, and a second draft completed by an in-person panel the first week of March. The intent was to take that feedback and prepare it for a public draft by April 1. The standards work was put on hold mid-March due to the COVID-19 outbreak. We will notify you with an updated timeline as soon as the standards work resumes.

Please contact Mark Freed if you have any questions about the standards review and revision process.
