[kids-lib] Technical Assistant webinar recording now available to watch for ODE's Early Literacy Grant, due March 14, 2014

Fri Feb 21 09:49:40 PST 2014

Hi! If you missed the technical assistance webinars the Early Learning Division conducted, you may now watch them at your convenience (https://oregoned.webex.com/oregoned/lsr.php?RCID=c84ce24b91f94ef2b7dc68700f5da02e).

If you are interested in applying for the Department of Education's Early Learning Grant, then I highly recommend you watch this webinar because this application, reporting, and accountability may be very different compared the types of grants you are most familiar with.

Subject: More info on early literacy grant from Oregon Department of Education

Hello! I just attended a meeting to provide feedback on the temporary Oregon Administrative Rules for the early literacy grant being offered by the Oregon Department of Education and have a little more information. First of all, keep in mind nothing is set in stone yet so the information provided in these resources could change. However, the information should help you and your local early learning hub or coalition start planning for this grant opportunity.

ODE is likely going to put out the request for applications in February, not this month as previously suggested. They have not yet decided how long the application period will be open.

Attached are scanned copies of the handouts provided at my meeting today. One provides an overview of the early literacy grant program and one is a copy of the temporary Oregon Administrative Rules for the early literacy grant program. You can learn more by reading the full House Bill 3232<https://olis.leg.state.or.us/LIZ/2013R1/Measures/Text/HB3232/Enrolled> which is where they come from.

Another public document that may be helpful is buried in the materials for the Early Learning Council's November 12, 2013 meeting. Go to page 11 of this document<http://www.oregon.gov/gov/docs/OEIB/NovELC.pdf> to read a proposal for the early literacy grant. Please remember the grant that is actually administered may look different than this, but this should provide insight into what the Early Learning Council is thinking and may be looking for in successful grant applications.

Please contact me if you have any questions, want to run ideas by me, or want to invite me to one of your local meetings where this grant is being discussed.

Thank you,
Katie
