Teacher Pathway Partnerships: Addressing Educator Workforce Needs Together

Do you realize that over 20 districts in Oregon now have a strong partnership with a specific College of Education.  These partnerships are addressing specific district employment needs and helping identify prospective new teachers that are more likely to remain in the respective district.

If you are frustrated filling teaching positions in your district, you will want to register now for a first-time event sponsored by COSA, OSPA, CEdO, ODE, OACTE, and the Oregon Educator Equity Advisory Group.

This pre-COSA Summer Institute on Teacher Pathway Partnerships takes place on Wednesday, June 21st   at the Best Western in Seaside. It starts with a free working lunch and finishes by 4PM and brings district school and district administrators together with deans and directors from Oregon's 16 education preparation programs to:

  1.  Learn about current district/higher education partnerships addressing educator workforce needs in rural communities and districts with diverse K-12 students;
  2.  Take away lessons on how to initiate and sustain partnerships that result in new career pathways;
  3.  Explore innovative ways to leverage resources to address educator workforce needs in rural and/or diverse K-12 districts;
  4.  Share districts' short and longer term pressing educator workforce needs with College of Education leaders; and
  5.  Build new networks and relationships that may lead to new teacher pathway partnerships.

Attached is an agenda.  Join us now and address educator workforce need together!
