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). Some Set Two sessions are pending review by the Oregon Registry Review Team.

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.

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 n singles or pairs, then meet over lunch, on the way home or at the next staff meeting to compare notes.
