The motivation for these idea exchanges is to bring together teachers throughout Oregon to share best practices for CDL, Hybrid, and In-Person instruction. We want to amplify the creativity and expertise of Oregon's teachers by creating a space to share promising practices, strategies, successes, and tips. This is not a webinar! We are committed to building a "give-one, get-one" discussion where everyone feels welcome to share ideas and get "just in time" strategies.
