Standards
What should students know and be able to do?
Estacada School District Staff members have been striving to deliver lessons to meet the increasingly rigorous standards required by Oregon's adoption of the Common Core State Standards. Professional development and training opportunities provide optimal learning opportunities for our students. Please review the following resources that offer insight into our plan for increasing student achievement.

Common Core State Standards
On October 28, 2010 the State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English-language arts and mathematics.
Common Core State Standards - Content Area Resources
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects and Mathematics were adopted by the Oregon State Board of Education on October 28, 2010. These standards are the foundation of the K-12 Oregon Diploma.
Moving to common standards in two content areas represents a major change for Oregon. ODE and its educational partners are committed to providing educators with the tools they need to understand and implement the CCSS.
Students with DisabilitiesThe documents on this page provide all educators with resources that focus on the needs of students with disabilities. Educators should continue to reference the resources available on other CCSS pages for content-specific information. |
English LearnersThe documents on this page provide all educators with resources that focus on the needs of English learners. Educators should continue to reference the resources available on other CCSS pages for content-specific information. |
AdministratorsThe Common Core respresents a change in the way teachers teach and how students show what they have learned. The success of such change requires the thoughtful attention of school leaders. This page provides resources for administrators as they guide their schools through this change. |
English Language ArtsFind resources to support teachers as they adjust their instruction, lesson design, and assessment practices to support students in achieving the CCSS. Organized into four categories: Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening, and Research. |
MathematicsFind resources to support teachers as they adjust their instruction, lesson design, and assessment practices to support students in achieving the CCSS. Organized into four categories: Concepts & Procedures, Problem Solving, Communicating Reasoning, and Modeling & Data Analysis. |
Oregon-Developed ResourcesMany districts and ESDs around Oregon have developed tools and resources to support their educators as they move forward with Common Core implementation. |
Social SciencesIn the CCSS, literacy is a shared responsibility within the school. Teachers in all subject areas use their content area expertise to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in their respective fields. |

Career and Technical Education (CTE)Both CTE and CCSS have the goal of college and career readiness. CTE is intrinsically tied with the CCSS and can provide the context for the learning described in the CCSS. |
English Language Proficiency Standards
In the fall of 2013, the Oregon Department of Education received the final draft of the new English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards from the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and WestEd. The new ELP standards were approved by the State Board of Education in October 2013. The newly designed ELPA21 anticipated to replace the Oregon ELPA in the 2015-2016 school year.
