Description
The Oregon Department of Education is seeking information from vendors regarding dyslexia-related training opportunities for teachers in Oregon school districts. The goal is to develop an annual list of approved training opportunities that meet specific criteria, including focus areas such as understanding and recognizing dyslexia, using evidence-based practices to teach reading skills, and intensifying instruction to meet the needs of students with dyslexia. Vendors must complete a workbook and submit it for review by the Agency. The selected training opportunities will be included on the Agency's annual list, which will be released to school districts by June 15, 2026.
• The training opportunities must be program-neutral and not dependent on a specific intervention program or curriculum.
• The training opportunities must provide teachers with knowledge and skills necessary to present systematic, explicit, and evidence-based reading instruction in a variety of settings.
• The training opportunities must meet the requirements outlined in the Oregon Department of Education Dyslexia-Related Training Vendor Workbook.
• The training opportunities must be evaluated by an Evaluation Committee based on specific criteria, including the presence of evidence in the submission.
