Supporting effective instruction

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Oregon Department of Education $4,439,187 on July 1, 2026, under the Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program (CFDA 84.367).

The program provides grants to state educational agencies and subgrants to local educational agencies to increase student achievement, improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and school leaders, and expand low-income and minority student access to effective educators. State-level activities include reforming teacher and principal certification programs, providing support for new teachers, and delivering professional development. Local-level activities include recruiting and retaining effective teachers and principals, providing professional development, and reducing class size.

The Oregon Department of Education administers the award at its Salem, Oregon location. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2027. ODE distributes funds as subgrants to local educational agencies and other recipients across Oregon to support teacher quality, principal effectiveness, and student academic achievement initiatives.
