Preservice and CPD References IT in Oregon's Preservice Teacher Education IT in Oregon's Continuing Professional Development On a nationwide basis, approximately 3/4 of the college work of a preservice teacher is taken outside a school, department, of college of education. Thus, it is very important to identify potential preservice teachers before they enter a teacher education program that is, while they are Pre-Education majors. Good advising for these students can contribute significantly to their success in getting into a teacher education program, graduating from such a program, and then getting a teaching job. Such advising can help point Pre-Education majors toward well taught courses that are making good use of IT. Teacher education programs vary substantially in the nature and extent of IT knowledge and skills required of their students. They vary tremendously in the IT-oriented and IT-using courses that are required and/or available to students. Both of these situations provide opportunities for improving the IT education of students in a preservice teacher education program.

Oregonians have voted to use Lottery profits for the things that make Oregon a great place to live. In 1984, the Oregon Lottery was created by a vote of the people of Oregon. At that time, Lottery dollars were approved to help strengthen Oregon's economy and to create jobs. In 1995, Oregonians voted to allow Lottery profits to help finance public education. Currently about two thirds of Lottery dollars help fund this critical public service. Lottery profits provide direct support to local school districts funding, books, staff, utilities and other essential services. In 1998, Oregonians again responded to the changing needs of our state, voting to direct 15% of all Lottery profits to help our parks and salmon habitats.
