Regional Educational Laboratory Northwest supports Washington’s Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction as it develops a statewide framework for K–12 literacy. To achieve this goal, the REL and state partners develop a needs assessment survey regarding evidence-based literacy practices. The data will serve as the basis for subsequent work with the literacy framework and professional learning materials that improve adoption of evidence-based literacy practices to ultimately improve student achievement outcomes.

For the Washington Literacy Partnership, REL Northwest collaborates with the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to understand current literacy practices in the state and identify focal areas for targeted resources and support. In the 2023/24 project, REL Northwest provided technical support to OSPI to analyze responses from the English Language Arts Learning Standards Review Survey, revise the survey to better assess the literacy knowledge and practices of educators statewide, and administer the newly revised needs assessment.
