The Resource Vetting and Selection Process
WestEd worked with the Oregon Department of Education to offer high-quality instructional resources for implementing Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework that supplement your core curriculum. The vetting process identified and reviewed materials to meet the goal of providing resources that reflect the evidence-based strategies and practices featured in Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework.
WestEd vetted all materials not developed specifically for this website prior to inclusion. Included materials passed three phases of vetting before final curation by subject matter experts.
Phase 1 Vetting
Materials were reviewed against the tenets of Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework and basic permission for use. If materials did not pass this phase, they were not reviewed further.
Phase 2 Vetting
Materials were reviewed against specific criteria for the section of Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework to which they aligned. Based on these evaluations, reviewers made a recommendation for inclusion.
Materials that reflected at least one or more criteria and were highly recommended or moderately recommended moved to phase 3. Materials that did not reflect any criteria or were not recommended were not reviewed further.
Phase 3 Vetting
Materials were reviewed against baseline accessibility criteria.
If remediation was necessary, WestEd reviewed the source terms of use to ensure that modification of the material was permissible and sought permission as required.
Attributions and limitations for use are noted for each material.
