Welcome to nWTLL FORMERLY OASCD

---

I want to welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year and am looking forward to an exciting year! We are looking forward to expanding our learning here at NWTLL (formerly Oregon ASCD) as we continue to grow with the Teaching, Learning and Leadership Legacy Network (T3LN). Joining NWTLL allows you to access within the T3LN network at no additional cost (more on that below).

We know the work you engage in every day with all our students can change their lives forever. We also know the key to educator success is collaboration and support, which NWTLL is proud to promote across our region. I am proud to engage in this work as the new president of NWTLL (OASCD) and seek to expand our reach across the northwest. I am committed to continuing the strong legacy of partnership with educators across the spectrum.

This past April NWTLL was proud to highlight the strengths and knowledge of professionals who work with the youngest of learners at our third annual Early Learning Conference. Each year this conference has brought together those educators who work tirelessly at the very beginning of children’s lives building the skill necessary to become lifelong learners. This conference highlights the important work of educators within Oregon as well as national leaders within the field. This past year we focused on literacy and the importance of building early learning skills as the key to future success. We will be hosting this conference again this year in Portland on April 15 and 16, 2027 and look forward to seeing you there.

Another exciting opportunity this past year was the Solutions in Action Virtual National Conference. This virtual event was March 17-19 with keynote speakers and over 35 breakout sessions available to NWTLL. This virtual conference allowed members to participate in the virtual conference as it happened as well as access all of the recorded sessions afterwards.

In addition, NWTLL will be continuing our support of the PLC project as districts move into their third year of participation.

I look forward to another successful year filled with connections and inspiration from the work we all do to support Oregon and the great work in education from Pre-K to High School and beyond!

Kevin Anderson, NWTLL (OASCD) President
