State-Level Policy Impact: Oregon
- The CRTWC Anchor Competencies Framework was used to guide the creation of the state standards for Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs). These new SEL standards are now mandated as a part of the accreditation process for EPPs.
- A group of professors of education from multiple Universities in Oregon created the Oregon Collaborative of SEL in Educator Preparation (OCSEP) to infuse social, emotional, and cultural competencies into their courses and field work with pre-service teachers. OCSEP leaders have participated in a two-session Book Club focused on Dr. Markowitz’s recent book.
- OCSEP is working with CRTWC to create an Oregon Teacher Educator Institute (TEI), designed to bring together a cohort of up to 30 teacher educators from each of the 16 different teacher training programs across Oregon and engage in an interactive, collaborative, year-long institute.
