OMLA is an organization that thrives on contributions from it's members and others. Your help is what can make us become a truely helpful and supportive force for middle schools in Oregon. Here are some ways you can help.
Take our planning survey. We are doing some strategic planning to determine what our organization can do to help middle level schools improve statewide. Your input will help us in that effort. Click on the “links” for more information, click on the “buttons” to submit your valued feedback.
Send us information for our Promising Practices pages about an instructional strategy, curriculum or climate enhancing program you've implemented at your school which has proven effective. This will put you on those pages so that others can contact your school to learn of your success in order to enhance their own .
Nominate a colleague for one of OMLA's Annual Awards. Each year OMLA recognizes several middle school supporters with our Pence and Putnam awards. The David Putnam award recognized OMLA's Middle School Educator of the Year and the John Pence awards (up to seven per year) recognize people (not always educators) who have distinguished themselves in the advancement of middle level education in our state .
Volunteer to serve on the OMLA Board.
