Oregon's Early Literacy Framework: Joyful Research-Aligned Literacy Learning

Friday October 11, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm PDT

Room 233

To provide a research-aligned and joyful vision for literacy learning, in 2023 the Oregon Department of Education released the Oregon Early Literacy Framework. The framework, along with the Early Literacy Success School District Grants, provided investment and guidance to enhance early literacy instruction in Oregon. Join us for an engaging session designed to develop participants’ understanding and importance of Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework. After an overview of the framework, participants will choose a section of the framework that they would like to explore more deeply. Educators will reflect on their own practice and role in promoting early literacy and leave with concrete ideas for enhancing literacy instruction.
