Dear Literacy Leaders,
In spring 2023, the Oregon Department of Education published Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework focusing on literacy for K-5. This framework elevates Oregon’s shared vision for lifting literacy outcomes in Oregon, with a focus on reading research and updated literacy resources, all with the clear aim of inspiring better practice and improving the quality of literacy learning for every young reader and writer in Oregon. In response to what we continue to hear from educators and leaders statewide, there is a real need to help clarify and confirm what matters most in teaching adolescent readers and writers to attain high levels of literacy and multilingual literacy. We are working with WestEd to design Oregon’s Adolescent Literacy Framework for grades 6-12 and we are seeking your input.
In continuity with the development process used for Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework, ODE and WestEd are publishing a preview draft of Oregon’s Adolescent Literacy Framework and inviting feedback through engagement sessions between May 7th and May 21st.
Seeking Your Input: Adolescent Literacy Framework Feedback Sessions
WestEd will be hosting a series of engagement sessions to collect input on the first draft of Oregon’s Adolescent Literacy Framework, which will be posted here by end of day May 3rd and emailed to all registered participants (Note: Link will not be live until 5/3).
Purpose: To share the preview draft of Oregon’s Adolescent Literacy Framework and receive input from educators, literacy researchers, practitioners and community to ensure the framework is responsive, complete, and reflective of literacy research.
Next Steps: First, identify the engagement session you plan to attend and register. Then, preview the draft framework before your scheduled engagement session.
As you review the first draft, please keep in mind:
- This is just the first draft. Your feedback will make it better!
- The final version of Oregon’s Adolescent Literacy Framework will be available in the fall/winter of 2024.
Preview Draft Engagement Sessions
Final Publication: Following the engagement sessions, WestEd will continue to refine the framework in anticipation of releasing the final version in the fall/winter of 2024.
Thank you, again, for your interest in advancing secondary literacy in Oregon!
