Centers and Community Outreach
The Center for Continuing Studies provides dynamic educational experiences for adults, enabling them to think creatively, act knowledgeably, and live reflectively. The center offers continuing education classes, non-credit programs and workshops, conferences, lectures, and international travel and study.
In an increasingly multicultural and complex world, IWOK prepares native and non-native teachers, counselors and related community leaders for positive and informed leadership roles. IWOK empowers Tribal communities by providing educational experiences through a multicontextual process rooted in Indigenous worldviews.
The Northwest Writing Institute gathers a community of writers for reflective experiences in the practice of writing. The Institute offers courses for teachers and adult writers.
The Oregon Center for Inquiry and Social Innovation puts action to thought and thought to action. This center shapes questions, considerations, and dialogue that support thoughtful inquiry and innovative action for transforming social problems. The Oregon Writing Project is a collaboration program between Lewis & Clark and area schools, offering programs designed to improve the writing of Oregon's K-12 students and teachers. For over 20 years, OWP has been a vital resource for teachers who recognize the value of using writing as a means of thinking, exploring, and increasing academic achievement with students.
Small Schools Northwest is a resource for public schools and school districts engaged in restructuring and whole-school improvement. We provide guidance and professional development to large public schools that are in the process of restructuring into smaller learning environments as well as support start-up and charter school efforts from the proposal and planning stages through implementation. A growing part of our work is the training of Critical Friends Group coaches, which you can learn more about on our website.
