Literacy

The Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Workgroup of the State Support Team is committed to advancing the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce vision for academic excellence in literacy and mathematics. We support districts, schools, and community schools in implementing Ohio’s Learning Standards through high-quality curriculum, evidence-based instructional practices, and aligned assessments. Grounded in equity and inclusive education, our work fosters strong foundational skills in literacy and mathematics for all learners, preparing them for lifelong success. We collaborate with educators to ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive academically and beyond.
