Resources to Support Distance Learning For All
On 4-8-20, Governor Kate Brown announced that in-person classes with students will not occur for the remainder of the school year, as part of continued efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep our communities well. Instead, school and learning will continue using remote methods under Oregon’s Distance Learning for All Plan.
Additionally, under Oregon’s new 2020 Graduation Pathways Plan, high school seniors will receive passing grades for their courses and meet Oregon’s graduation requirements, if they were on-track to graduate prior to the statewide school closure in March. Schools will provide additional focus on credit-earning opportunities and learning for seniors who were not yet passing all required courses.
Oregon’s plan maintains the 24 credit requirement for the Oregon Diploma and honors continued high standards for learning and achievement. Oregon’s public universities have supported the plan by ensuring no student admitted for fall 2020 will have their admission rescinded due to changes in grading policy or the inability to complete their coursework, so long as they graduate high school.
Districts across Oregon are providing essential services and learning supports for their students through their Distance Learning for All plans.
SOESD is providing essential services and learning supports for students, families, and districts across the region, including child care for essential workers, emotional and navigational support for families, online learning resources, physical educational materials, instruction for students, a regional Help Desk for technical and learning support, and a myriad of special services for unique student and family needs.
Please visit SOESD’s Distance Learning for All section of our website to access these resources and services.
Annual State Assessments
State assessments are used to inform teachers and administrators about learning needs and how they might adjust instruction for student success. These annual assessments are scheduled at different times throughout the year per Oregon Department of Education. Your child’s teacher can inform you about these assessments.
The Student Educational Equity Development Survey (SEED) and Alt-SEED Survey will help the Oregon Department of Education gather information about the educational experiences of students in Oregon. This information will help ODE to develop appropriate resources and supports for districts in Oregon and better target those resources and supports where they are most needed. The SEED Survey will also help ODE better interpret information we are already gathering through statewide testing.
The SEED and Alt-SEED Surveys gather data from students statewide in grades 3-11. The content of the survey varies by grade level. The survey measures student perceptions in four core constructs: Access to Learning Resources, Opportunity to Learn, Self-Efficacy, and Sense of Belonging. The middle and high school versions of the survey also include questions pertaining to extracurricular engagement and career and technical education. High school versions of the survey further include questions around post-graduation planning. Teachers who administer to students the Extended (Alternative) Assessment will complete the Alt-SEED Survey on their behalf.
