Summary
The Early Learning System Initiative (ELSI) described four core areas—professional learning, coaching, inclusion and impact/evaluation—highlighting Oregon Coaching Competencies, mentor‑coach supports for DELC‑funded coaches and translation/data work for multilingual access.
Megan McClellan, director of the Hallie Ford Center and the Early Learning System Initiative (ELSI) at Oregon State University, described ELSI’s four core areas—professional learning, coaching, inclusion and impact/evaluation—and how those pieces support Oregon’s early‑learning workforce system.
McClellan and colleagues detailed the Oregon Coaching Competencies and a mentor‑coach model that supports DELC‑funded preschool and OPK coaches. The inclusion initiative has supported Pyramid Model training and has field‑tested an implementation data system; the impact core provides quarterly metrics and translated materials to increase access for multilingual educators.
