From katie.anderson at state.or.us Fri Feb 10 16:26:57 2017 From: katie.anderson at state.or.us (Katie Anderson) Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 00:26:57 +0000 Subject: [RFHF] Announcing Oregon's Early Learning and Kindergarten Guidelines Message-ID: Hi! I just received the following announcement and thought most of you would want to know right away. I haven't had a chance to read them yet, but I will and in a couple of weeks I'll send a follow-up email with highlights like I often do with these types of things.-Katie Oregon's Early Learning and Kindergarten Guidelines Release We are pleased to announce the release of Oregon's Early Learning and Kindergarten Guidelines, which align the learning and developmental progressions for children ages 3-6 in the domains of approaches to learning, social-emotional development, language and communication, literacy, and mathematics. The Guidelines are designed to equip early learning providers and kindergarten teachers with a set of shared expectations for children's learning and development in these domains, and our hope is that they help to foster shared approaches to developmentally appropriate and culturally-responsive classroom practices across the PreK-K spectrum. The Guidelines, as well as a set of supporting resources, can be accessed on the Early Learnig and Kindergarten Guildelines web page. The launch of the Guidelines web page is the first of a multi-step process for helping early learning providers access and make use of the Guidelines. We will have hard copies as well as versions translated into Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese and Chinese available in the very near future. Additionally, ODE and ELD staff will conducting trainings on how to effectively use the Guidelines throughout the state, and will be working to create professional development resources to help support implementation. Please check the Guidelines web page for regular updates. If you have questions or would like more information about the Guidelines, please contact Brett Walker with the Early Learning Division at 503.378.5160 or by email at brett.walker at state.or.us.

Read to find out how! Message-ID: The Early Learning Funder?s Circle and Oregon Center for Career Development (Oregon Registry Trainer Program) recognize there is a great need for Master Trainers who are people of color and native speakers of Spanish, Russian, and many other languages spoken in Oregon. They are convening a committee to develop a program to increase the number of Master Trainers of color and who speak languages other than English. If you are interested in joining this Community Council, the application information is attached. Community Council members will be responsible for: ? Participate in a Community Council in partnership with OCCD to identify the components the state?s training and Master Trainer certification program that are barriers for their communities. ? Establish a language translation policy so that all materials are appropriately translated into languages spoken by the project?s focus populations. ? Identify the barriers that can successfully be removed in the three-year grant period. ? Identify trainers in their communities and organizations who can serve as Mentor Master Trainers. ? Support recruitment of Emerging Master Trainers. If you have any questions, please contact Abby Bush at the Oregon Community Foundation, abush at oregoncf.org or 503-227-6846.

Here are some things to know: * They have four years of data now! * The data shows consistency in early math and literacy skills-we aren't increasing kindergarten readiness, but it's not decreasing either. * There are still resource gaps in our state for some children to access early learning experiences that help them get ready for school. * The Early Learning Division is using the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment results to determine where to direct funds to reach those children. * You can find your school district's Kindergarten Readiness Assessment results online here!
