OSPI/AESD Professional Learning Network
Early Learning Coordination & Training
Continued Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program, Early Head Start and Head Start funding will ensure statewide capacity to offer comprehensive education, health, nutrition, and family support services to ensure all students are kindergarten ready.
Math, Science & STEM Coordination & Training
Continued funding Math, Science and STEM Coordination and Training will ensure teaching practices continue to be aligned to math and science standards, resulting in increased content knowledge among students and higher levels of achievement.
Literacy Coordination & Training
ESDs provide the latest evidence-based research and best instructional practices in literacy instruction and assessment, consistent with OSPI’s Learning Standard, leveraging grants to support early literacy. Continued literacy funding will expand these efforts to more students in our state.
Equity & Data Quality Coordination & Training
Funding an Equity and Measures Coordinator at each ESD would strengthen the State’s professional learning support for non-academic measures and ESDs in partnership with OSPI would jointly develop professional learning opportunities for districts that focus on issues of equity and cultural competency.
