School Climate, Rural Education, Literacy & More
Another REL/IES item that I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, which has a couple of relevant items that readers may find of interest.
Partnering with you to put research into action.
With the goal of helping educators and policymakers use data and evidence to improve student outcomes, we are pleased to share the following REL Northwest research and resources.
SCHOOL CLIMATE
Resources for Safe Schools Week
Safe Schools Week is October 17–23. These REL Northwest resources can help education stakeholders support positive and productive learning environments for all:
- Print-ready infographics with tips to promote school safety for students, educators, and parents and caregivers.
- Blog posts on creating welcoming, bully-free online learning environments and a multidisciplinary approach to school safety.
- A video sharing strategies teachers can use to strengthen relationships with students from diverse backgrounds.
- An infographic showing actions adults can take to ensure a safe and supportive school climate.
RURAL EDUCATION
Virtual Event to Share Research and Tools for Rural Schools
Join RELs from across the country on October 28 to learn about putting research into action on a variety of rural education topics. Presentations—including one from REL Northwest on program evaluation and data collection in rural Alaska—will provide actionable takeaways for improving outcomes for students in rural areas. Learn more.
GRADUATION AND POSTSECONDARY SUCCESS
Oregon Partnership Annual Convening is November 8
Those interested in supporting equitable outcomes for Oregon students should plan to attend the Oregon Graduation and Postsecondary Success Alliance’s annual convening, taking place virtually on November 8. Explore findings from recent studies on the impact of early indicator and intervention systems in Oregon and the Oregon Promise financial aid program. Discuss how data and evidence can inform policy and practice, close opportunity gaps, and more. Register soon.
LITERACY
Preschool Through Grade 5 Writing Instruction
A stakeholder recently asked, “What does the research say about best practices in preschool through grade 5 writing instruction?” Our Ask A REL librarian searched the literature on this topic and compiled a list of recent, publicly available references and resources. View other featured responses to education-related research questions from the region—or submit your own query—on our website.
