What do you mean by Set One or
Set Two?
Workshops have been coded by Oregon Registry Core Knowledge
Categories and Sets (level of depth of the content).
Sets relate to the Oregon Registry: Pathways
to Professional Development. They represent
the progression of increased depth and breadth of knowledge
within each core knowledge category.
Set One training presents introductory
knowledge. The purpose of these sessions is to provide
an overview of basic principles, theories, and/or research.
Set One training participants are expected to gain basic,
introductory knowledge of session topics.
Set Two training presents intermediate
knowledge. The purpose of these sessions is to build
on previous knowledge by having professionals use what
they have already learned and experienced to think in
depth and to learn more. Sessions are developed assuming
that participants already have basic knowledge of the
subject in order to participate at this intermediate
level of complexity. Set Two training participants are
expected to already have introductory knowledge about
the session topics. Sessions must have advance approval
by the Oregon Registry Review Team to carry the Set
Two designation.
Approved Set Two Sessions: Adult Learning
II, Home Based Child Care Professional, A-4, B-12, B-14,
B-16 (Pending), B-17.

I’m new to the conference
can you help me figure this out?
If you are fairly new to childhood care and education
you might want to stick with Set One sessions. If you
are experienced or have at least some college education,
the Set Two sessions will offer more of a challenge.
If you are coming as a group, it helps if everyone
doesn’t select the same session. Split up as singles
or pairs, then meet over lunch, on the way home or at
the next staff meeting to compare notes.
