This Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) annual performance report for the year 2015 describes Oregon's accomplishments, lessons learned, challenges, and strategies Oregon will implement to address those challenges. Oregon continues to make great strides in efforts to create a dynamic early learning system capable of anticipating and addressing the myriad needs of children and families. Efforts are guided by the state's 40-40-20 goals: by 2040, 40% of adult Oregonians will earn a bachelor's degree or higher; 40% will earn an associate's degree; and 20% will earn a high school diploma or equivalent. Oregon's early learning system aims to support children to learn and thrive by focusing on three statutory goals: ensure that (1) children arrive at kindergarten ready to succeed; (2) families are healthy, stable, and attached; and (3) the early learning system is coordinated, aligned, and family-centered. Through funding that reinforces essential infrastructure, the Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) grant has been integral to Oregon's efforts to create specific opportunities to meet the goals outlined above by cultivating quality early learning environments, where staff are well trained, culturally-responsive practices are the norm, and parents are engaged.
