The Professional Learning Core works with partners across Oregon to support and provide resources for QS/QIS staff, TA staff, educators, community partners, coaches, CCR&R staff, program leaders, and more.
Regardless of your position or title, we encourage everyone to engage in our professional learning opportunities as your authentic self. Our goal is to foster experiences that are welcoming, accessible, and inclusive for all, where each person is respected for their identities, including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, abilities, disabilities, and lived experiences.
