English Language Proficiency

Every student, every day, is engaged in meaningful, affirming, grade-level instruction.

ODE Standards Logo

In accordance with ORS 329.045, in 2013, the Oregon State Board of Education formally adopted Content Standards for English Language Proficiency.

The Oregon English Language Proficiency Standards provide a coherent set of expectations for the knowledge, skills, and practices that students will develop throught their education. Grounded in research and informed by community input, the standards emphasize reading, writing, speaking and listening across content areas with indicators 1-5 for English Language Proficiency levels.

These standards reflect Oregon's commitment to equity, excellence, and access for every student and serve as the foundation for instruction, assessment, and high-quality instructional materials selection and implementation.

Grounded in this foundation, Oregon's required Transformative SEL Standards are to be integrated alongside English Language Proficiency standards to create the conditions for learning and thriving.

We will share updates here as future standards review or revision processes are identified. Please check back for the latest information. ​
