OKLAHOMA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a profound effect on Oklahoma students, communities and schools, from the introduction of new instructional methods to concerns over disrupted learning and social and emotional well-being. It is imperative that we focus on how to best leverage unprecedented federal pandemic relief dollars to provide students what they need to learn and be successful.
As part of these efforts, we’ve developed the Ready Together Oklahoma webpage as a hub for resources that help set the tone and expectations for future growth. Explore the following pages for initiatives, resources and strategies to help students regain disrupted learning, feel safe and succeed within their local school community and beyond.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education Ready Together hub page will be updated as new information becomes available. Guidance briefs will be added as they are developed. Previously released and upcoming guidance is below, organized by topic.
