Attachment C: Fillable Application Form for Regional Educator Network Sponsoring Organization RFA

This is an application form for the State of Oregon's Request for Application (RFA #S-58100-00016687) seeking Sponsoring Organizations to serve as Regional Educator Networks (RENs) for the Willamette Valley and South Coast regions during the 2026-2027 program year (July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027). The application requires applicant organizations to submit narrative responses addressing thirteen evaluation items organized into three evaluation categories, with each response subject to specific word limits ranging from 500 to 600 words. The form functions as a fillable document where applicants enter responses directly into designated fields and track word counts for compliance. Applicants must provide specific examples, measurable evidence of impact, and disaggregated data demonstrating implementation outcomes rather than descriptions of activities alone.

The evaluation framework assigns between 6 and 8 available points per item, totaling 97 points across all thirteen items. The evaluation items assess organizational alignment with REN policy goals, experience strengthening evidence-based instructional practices, demonstrated success in improving student outcomes, processes for educator engagement and meaningful voice, capacity in educator development and regional coordination, experience identifying and addressing equity disparities, ability to leverage partnerships, teacher leadership cultivation, financial management and stewardship of professional learning funds, and cross-district partnership development and sustainability. Applicants must not include hyperlinks in their responses, and any responses exceeding word limits will be redacted from scoring consideration.
