= We Are All Continuous Learners = =In today's world, information travels fast. How will we stay on top of the changes? How can we all have a common level of understanding?= Welcome to Oregon School Districts "Continuous Learners Wiki". The intent of this site is to provide a space for all to connect with one another around current district topics. Many of us attend conferences, read books or articles related to the changes needed in today's schools. Some people are asked to represent a group by participating on a Task Force. Often the information that comes from any or all of these avenues is inconsistently shared with others. Written reports also sometimes are read but often are put aside until time permits to read it, only to get lost or forgotten. This leaves many people feeling that there is a communication gap. ​This wiki is designed to provide links to many of the people who are driving change in education today. Please consider returning often as this site will grow as our interactions grow. Links to articles, books, and videos will be added as we hear about them.

**Topic One - The Latest School Board Position Paper** In February 2010, the Oregon School Board made public a working draft of it's most recent position paper called **"Initiatives for Student Success in the 21st Century: Assessment of Student Achievement".**

In this paper, the Board indicates a continuing desire to ensure that All Students Succeed! They have requested and received information regarding issues with Grading Practices, Ranking Students, and Graduation Requirements. After reviewing the information and with the student as the center, the School Board, through this document, has given several directions to the district to continue on its journey to improve practices.

This site is designed to give you some information but also provide a place for you to give feedback regarding questions and/or concerns that you might have with one or more of the suggested changes. In the "Discussion" section, you can list your comments but then also respond to the comments of others.
