Our Work in Oregon

Sponsored dual credit uses flexible teacher qualification standards that local schools and colleges can adapt to their context.

Learn about Oregon’s unique dual enrollment model, designed to address challenges in the number of high school teachers qualified to teach dual credit.

The Oregon Department of Education partnered with us—with input from over 400 individuals in 60 focus groups—to develop a new Multilingual Strategic Plan for the state.

To support multilingual learners, Beaverton School District partnered with us to assess the impact of its dual language programs.

Beaverton School District has Oregon’s third largest population of multilingual students, including English learners, who bring valuable cultural, linguistic, and individual strengths, assets, and diversity to the classroom.

How can we support rural students’ decision making about life after high school? The Ford Family Foundation partnered with us to collect and analyze the data.

Youth development programs in rural areas often lack high quality professional development opportunities for members of their staff. Ford Family Foundation partnered with us to help.

To address Oregon’s equity goals, Education Northwest developed a pair of data dashboards, one for accelerated learning and the other for CTE.

An increasing number of U.S. students are multilingual learners, but teachers prepared to serve these students are almost always in short supply. A five-year partnership trains teachers to meet multilingual students' needs.

Oregon Senate Bill 13 (Tribal History/Shared History) provided funding to all nine federally recognized Tribes in the state to develop their own Tribally specific curriculum.

CTE can be a powerful tool for preparing students for college and career success. High-quality programs deliver rigorous academic and technical coursework sequenced across high school and postsecondary education.

At Portland Community College (PCC), first-generation and low-income students can receive support to overcome those barriers through Future Connect, a scholarship and advising program.

Education Northwest partnered with CCBUTI to develop a Tribal curriculum to enable students and educators in South Umpqua to learn about the Tribe, its history, its culture, and its continuing importance in the local community.

What were the reach and impacts of Oregon Promise—the second statewide promise program in the nation—on students’ postsecondary success?

Oregon Promise is a financial aid program for community college students. We used data to study which students the program reaches and how they are impacted.

We collaborated with The Ford Family Foundation to study college outcomes for the 42 percent of Oregon’s high school students who attend a rural school.

Which Oregon students participate in career and technical education programs—and what are the outcomes? We analyzed over ten years of data to find out.
