Projects
The Paraprofessional Preparation for Improvement Program (PAPI) project is a collaborative effort between TRI, the College of Education at Western Oregon University and four Oregon community colleges: Southwestern Oregon Community College, Mt. Hood Community College, Portland Community College, and Blue Mountain Community College. The goal of PAPI is to improve the knowledge and skills of paraprofessionals currently working toward an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE) to work with young children with disabilities.
Oregon Early Childhood Inclusion Collaborative (OECIC) is a statewide effort to develop, implement and evaluate a cross-sector plan to support increased opportunity for professional development regarding inclusion.
The Oregon Program of Quality (OPQ) OPQ is a state designation indicating an identified measure of quality determined through a rigorous portfolio review. This state designation is designed to bridge the gap between basic licensing requirements and National Accreditation and is for both family and center based care.
Partnering for Inclusive Childhood Care and Education (PICCE) offers support for trainers and coaches working to enhance the inclusion of children with disabilities through training and support of staff at family and center-based child care programs. During the past year, the Project supported 21 trainers and coaches in eight Oregon Communities conduct a variety of training at different levels to 106 child care providers.
