In an effort to ensure successful implementation of the new diploma requirements, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), in association with various partners, has developed toolkits to provide diploma-related resources to a wide array of individuals. With the start of the 2009 -2010 school year comes the release of the Student and Counselor Toolkits.
The Counselor Toolkit (http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2747) was created to support individuals providing guidance and counseling to students working toward achieving an Oregon Diploma and planning for their futures. The toolkit includes the most current information on diploma requirements, as well as resources related to Comprehensive Guidance & Counseling, advisories and the Education Plan & Profile.
The Oregon Diploma Project: “Student Choice, Voice, and Ownership” was developed through a grant in partnership with the Oregon Association of Student Councils (OSAC) and ODE. In this pilot project, student leaders received training to mentor and teach younger students about the new graduation requirements. The Student Toolkit (http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2746) contains all the materials student facilitators need to get started in this process.
Additional toolkits for Educators, Administrators and Business and Community members can be viewed on the REAL website at http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/real/diploma/toolkits.aspx . |
