In order to ensure an effective transition, it is necessary to get "the lay of the land". Surveying staff on their level of preparedness to teach the standards, as well as determining program readiness at the district level, provides critical baseline data. Knowing the professional development needs of teachers as well as programatic gaps is a good place to start.

Examining Preparedness

Steps

1. Survey teachers about the standards using the Professional Development Planning Tools.

2. Complete the district and school self-assessments from the Oregon K-12 Literacy Framework.
These self-audit tools can help districts plan for the implementation of comprehensive reading and writing programs aligned to the CCSS.

Support Materials

Oregon K - 12 Literacy Framework
The Oregon K-12 Literacy Framework describes how districts and schools can successfully plan and implement instructional programs for both reading and writing to ensure that all young Oregonians achieve CCSS grade-level literacy skills, receive an Oregon Diploma and graduate from high school career and college-ready.
