Past Engagement
February - December 2025
In 2025, a group of 12 school districts from different parts of Oregon began working with the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). These 12 districts are the third group of districts to take part in ODE’s English Learner Outcomes Program (ELOP). Through the program, ODE supports groups districts over four years to improve outcomes for multilingual students who are English learners.
Throughout 2025, ODE and the 12 districts partnered with Oregon’s Kitchen Table to hear from districts’ families and their multilingual students who are learning English in their school. Input from families and students will help districts make decisions about what to do to support families and students to improve outcomes for students as the districts work with ODE over the next four years.
OKT's report, along with the short summaries in English and Spanish, provides an overview of what we heard from all of the families and students in the 12 districts.
