Progress Means
Changing the Status Quo
C ontinued from P age 6
early childhood education requires
specialized skills and training, and
that teachers with those attributes
should be compensated on the
same scale as their K-12 peers.
Preschool Promise is part of
a crucial effort to help Oregon
change the status quo, to truly
change the trajectory for our most
vulnerable children and families.
It will elevate the early learning
workforce, pay teachers equita-
bly, and prepare educators to de-
liver high-quality preschool. And
it will help the state bolster its
commitment to high-quality pro-
gramming that will unequivocally
change lives.
But Preschool Promise is mere-
ly at its starting point. We need to
push to support what we’ve set in
motion to strengthen early learn-
ing and improve education and
health outcomes for our disadvan-
taged children and families. The
vision for Preschool Promise will
only be met if advocates and state
leaders pull together and commit
to supporting high-quality imple-
mentation and ensuring there are
pathways to education and train-
ing. They also have to support the
funding to back it.
To serve more low-income chil-
dren, Oregon needs to invest more.
In this coming legislative session,
we will push for increased fund-
ing for Preschool Promise, more
support for professional develop-
ment, and a focus on implemen-
tation and evaluation to support
improvement and measure child
outcomes. We will also push for
more opportunities and financial
support for culturally, ethnically,
and linguistically diverse teachers
to increase their education.
Preschool Promise is a smart,
strategic public investment for Or-
egon. But the work has just begun.
Preschool Promise can only de-
liver if we sufficiently invest and
support a quality workforce.
We engage in this work fully
aware of the significant challeng-
es facing low-income families
and children of color. But we also
believe we can succeed in chang-
ing life outcomes with coordinat-
ed efforts by families, advocates,
schools, community members,
and state leaders. Together we
must remove obstacles and ful-
fill the vision that all children, no
matter their income or race, will
be able to achieve school and life
success.
Swati Adarkar is president and
chief executive officer of the Chil-
dren’s Institute, a Portland-based
nonprofit that is committed to all
children being prepared for suc-
cess in school and life, promoting
cost-effective public and private
investment in our children pre-
birth through third grade.
Williams Sister Olympic Loss
C ontinued from P age 8
spectators, other members of the
crowd would respond with boos.
Safarova and Strycova did their
best to keep hitting shots toward
Venus when she was at the base-
line, while Serena was left to stand
near the net and watch those ex-
changes.
“I wasn’t playing the way I
needed to play,” Serena said. “I
wasn’t crossing the way I need to
cross.”
The Williams sisters appeared
to be getting back into the match
in the second set, which was even
at 4-all.
But Venus got broken there, al-
lowing Strycova to serve out the
surprising victory.
“Lucie was playing unbeliev-
able from the baseline,” Strycova
said. “She was hitting amazing
winners, returns.”
At that point, Safarova inter-
jected: “And Barbora was a magi-
cian at the net.”
