Re: Spend one day supporting Oregon Education!
Dear Oregon Education Community,
The Oregon Department of Education is seeking 200+ people from across the state to serve on Quality Assurance and Learning Panels (QALP) to review ODE’s assessment of Integrated Applications for Six ODE Initiatives. Community engagement, accountability, and transparency are central to the Student Success Act, this is an opportunity to be a part of the process.
This is a request to spend one half-day volunteering to review and affirm the work of ODE staff while increasing learning about the work being done in districts, charter schools, programs, and communities across the state of Oregon.
Quality Assurance and Learning Panels are a new and valuable aspect to ODE’s review process.
We are looking for:
- Practicing or retired educators;
- Students;
- Community partners;
- Family members and/or advocates representing/serving parents and families;
- Representatives from philanthropy or business;
- School board members and elected representatives; and
- School and district administrators - including ESD leaders.
Selected panelists will be asked to commit to one half-day (8:30am-12pm or 1pm-4:30pm) virtual meeting sometime between late March - June to review ODE's evaluation of up to four integrated applications. To be considered, submit a complete application no later than Monday, February 20th.
Participation in the Quality Assurance and Learning Panel is voluntary and subject to public record. Panelist applicants will be notified of their selection in late February 2023 and ODE will work with panelists to make sure the scheduling of this half-day panel works for them.
If you have any questions please contact us at ODE.EII@ode.oregon.gov.
Getting Better Together,
Colt Gill
