Overview
Educators and staff are the bedrock of our state’s public educational system.
It is critical to elevate and understand the voices and experiences of Oregon’s educators to help school, district, and state leaders identify and prioritize their needs and allocate resources most effectively.
Senate Bill (SB) 283, from the 2023 legislative session, requires the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to design and administer an annual survey to gather information about the working experiences of Oregon’s public K-12 education workforce.
The
Elevating Voices in Education (EVE) Workforce Survey is an annual and anonymous survey. It includes questions on topics such as workplace climate, professional learning, well-being, students and families, equity, and job satisfaction.
However, unlike prior surveys administered by ODE which largely concentrated on licensed teachers and administrators (e.g.,
Teaching, Empowering, Leading, and Learning [TELL] survey and
Oregon Statewide Educator Survey [OSES]), the EVE Workforce Survey will focus on all full-time and part-time licensed and classified staff employed or under contract with all public K-12 education providers in Oregon.
Key survey information:
- EVE Workforce Survey window is
February 2 to March 31, 2026.
- Delivery of the EVE Workforce Survey will occur via Microsoft (MS) Forms (with English and Spanish versions).
- ODE will provide districts and ESDs a survey administration toolkit containing email language, survey links, and survey administration guidance.
- Districts and ESDs will send their respective employees a link to the survey via email.
- ODE will provide districts aggregate and suppressed summaries of their respective EVE Workforce Survey results.
- ODE will develop a data dashboard to publicly display state-level EVE Workforce Survey results
