Announcements
New Transformative SEL and Arts Guidance from the Oregon Department of Education
The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is excited to announce the upcoming release of new resources to support K-12 education programs across the state. Integrating Transformative SEL and the Arts highlights areas where the arts are especially suited to support students’ transformative social and emotional growth by reinforcing connections and helps support coherence, consistent language use, and alignment between Oregon’s Transformative Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Standards and Oregon Arts Standards.
ODE is inviting administrators, educators, teaching artists, arts organizations, and all school staff, families, and community members interested in arts education to join us on May 15th to learn more about this guidance. Click on the link below to register!

Statewide Arts Education Programs
Arts, Care & Connection Program
Native Arts Program
The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with Arts for Learning Northwest to design an Arts, Care & Connection program, offering free K-5 arts integration lessons and professional learning for teachers. These lessons, designed by teaching artists from across Oregon, will create high quality arts and social emotional learning opportunities for elementary students during the school day, and will be available statewide in the 2024-2025 school year. This work is done in partnership with ODE’s Care and Connection campaign and will integrate and align to ODE's recently adopted Oregon’s Transformative SEL Framework & Standards.
Arts for Learning NW is seeking teaching artists
and elementary dance, music, theatre, and visual arts educators
to create arts education lessons and videos for this project.

The Well-Rounded Access Program is excited to announce a project to increase access to arts learning through culturally responsive lessons about contemporary and regional Native artists! This work aims to boost access to accurate, Tribal-specific arts content for Native and non-Native students through partnerships with
federally recognized Tribes, Southern Oregon ESD, and the
Jim Pepper Native Arts Council. They will develop lessons and professional development sessions integrating local Tribal cultural practices and the work of contemporary Native artists, incorporating the
Oregon Arts Standards and the
9 Essential Understandings (developed for the
Tribal History/Shared History (TH/SH) project).

Stay tuned for more updates as lessons and professional development opportunities become available for school year 2024-25!
