Northwest Regional Comprehensive Center

In Oregon, NWCC works with the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) on these priorities:

• Developing and piloting an educator effectiveness system
• Helping to implement, monitor, and evaluate Oregon’s Continuous Improvement Network that supports low-performing, high-poverty schools.

Leading this work is the Oregon State Coordinator Mike Siebersma, who serves as a liaison to the NWCC. In this role, he provides technical assistance to ODE, building the state’s capacity to support districts and schools to improve instruction, close achievement gaps, and improve educational outcomes for all students.

Siebersma is the deputy director of the NWCC and manager of systems improvement at Education Northwest, the parent organization of NWCC. A former middle school principal, he has extensive experience in school improvement planning and implementation.
