The training will be presented by Specialized Master Trainer Heather McNeil, youth services manager at Deschutes Public Library, professional storyteller, and author of Read, Rhyme and Romp: Early Literacy Skills and Activities for Librarians, Teachers, and Parents. Participation is limited to 20 approved applicants. The save the date announcement is on the Oregon Registry website (http://www.pdx.edu/occd/oregon-registry-trainer-program-6). Application materials will be posted on the Oregon Registry website in June. Please spread the word! This training if for staff at libraries and other agencies and organizations that provide parent education or training for family, friends, and neighbor providers. Participants will receive Set Two continuing education credit and will become Every Child Ready to Read Standardized Trainers certified by the Oregon Registry train to their colleagues and peers to use the Every Child Ready to Read curriculum with parents and family, friends, and neighbor providers for Set One continuing education credit. Those of you familiar with Reading for Healthy Families may like to know that this will be a very scaled back training in comparison. There are no requirements to conduct trainings afterwards. The actual training will be much more focused on the curriculum and will not include all the bells and whistles like flannel boards and Washington Learning System's On-the-Go activities. The goal is to make sure the Standardized Trainers understand the curriculum well enough to train their colleagues, answer their colleagues' questions about the curriculum, and help their colleagues become comfortable using the curriculum to teach parents how to develop their child's early literacy skills. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please refer anyone else who has questions to me too. Thank you, Katie Note: If you want training in Every Child Ready to Read so you can use it with parents in your community this training is NOT for you. This training will create a cadre of people certified to conduct the training you need... which means hopefully the training you need will be available after September 20th!

Message-ID: <640435851FD7CB4AB3C4BE0D1963BA2437EE68B3@OSLEXCHANGE.osl.state.or.us.local> Hello! Below are my go-to sources for statistics on literacy (and all education topics PreK-12). These are great for grant applications, strategic planning/outcome based planning and evaluation, reports to key stake holders, and advocacy materials. * Children First for Oregon: You can view statistics for the state as a whole and by individual county so you can get statistics specific to your region and compare them with the state statistics. * Oregon Department of Education: Reports: Allows you to get school district level statistics on Reading & Lit. Click on 'Assessment', look under 'Results-District and School' and click on 'Search Test Results (2004-2011)' and you'll pull up a page that allows you to create detailed reports by year, district, population, and subject. * OregonLive.com: Your Schools: Provides similar information as ODE. There aren't as many options for creating detailed reports as ODE, but their reports are more user-friendly snapshots of statistics. * National Center for Education Statistics: They have tons of statistics, but their 'Fast Facts' page is pretty easy to use. Click on 'Assessments', then click on 'Reading' and you should find national statistics. You can also find state-by-state ranking under 'Assessments' if you are interested in learning how Oregon compares. * Kids Count Data Center: They also have a lot of statistics, but you can 'build a custom indicator report for your community' which includes only the data you want to see. In addition, the website allows you to compare this nationally collected data with similar data collected locally via Children First for Oregon. Enjoy!
