Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is committed to supporting Oregon districts in providing students with equitable access to high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) that are aligned to standards, culturally responsive, and reflect evidence-based practices.
In Oregon, HQIM are basal instructional materials that include access to grade-level standards, inclusive practices, support for teachers and students, and embedded assessments. HQIM account for and honor the experiences of diverse learners, including educators, and their varying needs. Adopted instructional materials in Oregon are subject, by law, to an evaluation process and must meet established specifications and criteria in order to be approved for use in Oregon classrooms.
The State Board of Education is responsible for maintaining a review cycle at the state level. In 2023, the State Board approved
the following schedule for review and adoption of instructional materials.
