Goal 1: Create a Safe and Welcoming Environment

All students enrolled in K-12 public schools deserve a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment that supports their academic and social and emotional well-being. The resources in this goal focus on creating affirming school communities through culturally responsive practices, family engagement, and access to comprehensive resources.

Goal 2: Increase Academic Rigor for Plan Students

All students in Oregon’s K-12 public schools deserve access to rigorous academic opportunities that prepare them for success. The resources in this goal emphasize increasing literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills while ensuring instruction is culturally and linguistically responsive.

Goal 3: Enhance Social and Emotional Well-being

All students enrolled in K-12 public schools deserve access to social and emotional support that builds resilience, equity, and well-being. The resources under this goal emphasize implementing trauma-informed practices, embedding culturally responsive pedagogy, and addressing systemic inequities in school discipline. This goal aims to reduce educational disparities and create schools where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Goal 4: Strengthen Partnerships with Families

All students benefit when families are active partners in their education. Strengthening family-school partnerships ensures that immigrant and refugee families feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to engage in their children’s academic journeys. The resources under this goal focus on creating accessible communication channels, equipping families with the tools to navigate the education system, and celebrating the cultural assets they bring.
