School districts across the state of Ohio are designing and creating Extended Learning Plans to elevate student success and accelerate learning by designing and creating various opportunities like lengthening the current school year, adding time to instructional days, offering more tutoring opportunities, or creating summer learning activities and experiences.

Part of this plan requires districts to share the resources and partnerships that will be included in their plan. Let INFOhio, Ohio's PreK-12 digital library, be your school district's partner as you accelerate student learning. INFOhio offers a variety of PreK-12 digital learning resources at no cost to Ohio's students, educators, and parents that can support literacy skills across the Language and Literacy Development Continuum. 

As Ohio's PreK-12 Digital Library, INFOhio is prepared to help Ohio connect during a period where social distancing is the norm using quality digital resources and web tools available at no cost to all students, teachers, and parents.  We rely on a robust network of people in all areas of Ohio to help us transform instruction and impact learning. INFOhio is actively seeking new members for the INFOhio Integration Partners, or IPartners, program to boost our reach, support our efforts, and strengthen our connections.

In June 2019, the Ohio Board of Education adopted the Social and Emotional Learning Standards which were developed by Ohio teachers, school counselors, and educational personnel.
