Aligning for Student Success

Aligning for Student Success Integrated Guidance

Oregon continues to make significant targeted financial investments for students, educators, and communities.

Bringing these programs together operationally creates significant opportunities to improve outcomes and learning conditions for students and educators. Working within existing state statutes and administrative rules, ODE developed and refined a framework for success that meets the core purposes of each program while trying to create a stronger framework from which we can mark progress, look for long-term impacts, and develop the learning approach to monitoring and evaluation that is a hallmark of high-performing educational systems.

This has the opportunity to facilitate stronger alignment within districts through coordinated timelines, planning rhythms, and reporting structures. In small districts, this work might be coordinated by very few people. In larger districts, this may require more intentional coordination, communication, and planning across multiple teams and departments.

One of the aims of this effort is to significantly decrease administrative confusion while putting forward a single application and combining processes for planning, needs assessment, community engagement, budgeting, reporting, and evaluation.

This guidance now integrates the following programs or initiatives:

▪ Continuous Improvement Planning (CIP)
▪ Every Day Matters (EDM)
▪ High School Success (HSS)
▪ Student Investment Account (SIA)
▪ Early Indicator and Intervention Systems (EIIS)
▪ Early Literacy Success School District Grants (ELSSDG)
▪ Career and Technical Education/Perkins V (CTE)
▪ Career Connected Learning (CCL)
▪ Federal School Improvement for Comprehensive or Targeted Supports (FSI)
