The Portland Metro Teaching and Learning Coalition Partners
Our Commitment
The Portland Metro Teaching and Learning Coalition is committed to working collaboratively in order to improve and accelerate student and teacher learning. To reach this commitment, we will ensure equity throughout all of our work in recruitment and selection, clinical practice, hiring and placement, and mentoring and induction.
We will deepen our current partnerships through effective and sustainable collaboration. We will recruit and select diverse teacher candidates, knowing that having a diverse workforce positively impacts academic achievements for all students. We will enhance the rigor of clinical practices through the use of research-based strategies, assessment, and data analysis so that efficacious educators are ready and prepared to enter the workforce. We will implement new standards for hiring and placements in schools, knowing that our students need and deserve highly effective, competent and caring teachers who represent the diversity of our community. We will provide sustainable and effective mentoring and induction to support teachers in their first years and promote long term retention and enhanced performance. Our systematic efforts and commitment will lead to improved student and teacher learning.
