Literacy

The Ohio Department of Education & Workforce aims to increase student achievement through improving language and literacy outcomes for all students. A successful language and literacy framework is one built on:

• educator capacity
• shared leadership
• multi-tiered systems of support
• family partnerships
• community collaboration

The Ohio Department of Education & Workforce’s Plan to Raise Literacy Achievement calls for schools to develop a literacy framework and encourages all educators to promote language and literacy development across all ages, grades, and subject areas.
