Initial Implementation of the Odell HSLP 2022-2023

The Des Moines Public Schools utilizes the Odell High School Literacy Program as the curriculum in core High School English classrooms. This includes self-contained classrooms for students with IEP’s or language services for grades 9-12.

Odell is constructed around a robust narrative of diverse perspectives that support our district’s vision of providing an actively anti-racist curricular experience. Text sets include grade-level anchor texts, contemporary and historical supporting texts, and diverse visual media. Each unit is structured to engage students in answering an essential question, application of interdependent literacy skills, and deeper inquiry to demonstrate evidence of learning. As an Open Educational Resource (OER) Odell is a living curriculum that can be adapted and amended to reflect best practice and current events. As a curriculum partner, Odell Education is committed to supporting ongoing implementation and improvement.
