How it works:
-
- You must be an Oregon educator to be eligible for Civic Scholar benefits (see below for more information about benefits).
- Register for the Oregon Civics Conference for Teachers and identify your Oregon State legislators on the registration form.
- Educators confirmed as Civic Scholars will be assigned to a legislator who represents the Oregon House or Senate district in which they teach.
- Legislators are also invited to nominate outstanding educators from their district.
- Civics Learning Project will provide you the contact information to send a thank you note to your Legislative Sponsor.
