Overview

Licensed and non-licensed staff are the bedrock of our state's public education system. It is critical to elevate and understand the voices and experiences of Oregon’s educators to better support their needs.

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.

The EVE Workforce Survey focuses on all full-time and part-time licensed and classified staff employed or under contract with all K-12 public education providers in Oregon

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.
