February 4th, 2026, live, virtual

25-26 District Trainings

We’ve got a jam packed professional development schedule for the 25-26 school year! ORTII partner districts are required to attend one or more of these events, depending on the nature and extent of your support. Contact your coach for questions about which trainings your district should attend.

If you are not a current partner district and are interested in attending any of these trainings, space may be available. Please reach out to Administrative Specialist Matthew Kishlock (mkishlock@nwresd.k12.or.us) to secure a spot.
