I am currently applying to graduate schools am an interested in the Master's + Licensure program at Lewis and Clark College. Unfortunately I live in the middle of the South Pacific and cannot visit the campus. Does anyone have any experience or know anything about the school or the program? I'm just looking for indication of the overall quality of the program and its reputation. Thanks in advance for your help!
I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted into the program and will be starting in just a few short months! The program's focus on reading and writing workshops fits me perfectly, so I'm pretty excited about it. Thanks again for your help...

Congratulations! I know you'll be happy there - the people (grad students & faculty) are very cool. I also loved the workshop focus and use that now in my teaching; it's great. Best of luck & get ready to work! :)

I'm looking for online credentials programs that will provide licensure for Oregon Public Schools. If anyone has any opinions on some of the faster and less expensive programs, I'm all ears.
Hello art teachers! Getting ready to take this monster and have read the postings and "the list-study guide". Curious if anyone has any up to date info on test questions (essays) and or additions to the guide that's already been posted. Thanks for the help. Happy New Year!
I currently live in CA and have been teaching a reading intervention program on a part-time basis. I hold the equivalent of an emergency teaching credential.
We will be relocating to Hillsboro soon for husbands job and I am trying to get a feel for the job market. What I've seen on this board has not been encouraging!
So if its unrealistic to expect to find a part-time teaching job w/o a credential...what other job fields would be more promising? We have small children and I really am only interested in part time work.
An instructional aide. Many Sped needs and not enough qualified IA's. Hillsboro or surrounding area may have a severe need -- check it out. Hillsboro is part of the Portland Metro area so the population is fairly dense. You may find a position in Beaverton, Aloha, Forest Grove or, of course, Hillsboro. Beaverton is pretty large. You may also be interested in substitute teaching. Oregon will grant a substitute license to a BA/BS or more ed without teacher training. That's part-time, might be a good fit for you.

Primarily Teaching is designed to provide access to the rich resources of the National Archives for educators at the upper elementary, secondary, and college levels. Participants will learn how to research the historical records, create classroom materials based on the records, and present documents in ways that sharpen students' skills and enthusiasm for history, government, and the other humanities.
Each participant will search the holdings of the National Archives for documents suitable for classroom use and develop strategies for using these documents in the classroom or design professional development activities to help classroom teachers use primary source documents effectively.
The National Archives preserves and makes available to the public the permanently valuable records of the United States government. Although the best known of these are the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, there are billions of textual documents, maps, drawings, photographs, films, sound recordings, and computer tapes in the National Archives holdings that record the American experience of government from 1774 to the present.
The cost of the institute, including all materials, is $100. Graduate credit from a major university is available for an additional fee.
Participation in the Washington, DC, session is limited to 20 members; participation in the sessions at the Presidential Libraries and regional facilities is limited to 10 members each.
An application for the institute is available online at [link removed]

Can anyone help me?? I am searching for a teacher that I had in 1988 at McLoughlin Middle School in Medford Oregon. I would love to be able to email him, to let him know what a positive effect he had on my life. Please email me with any suggestions, or any help. I really appreciate your time!!
I've been checking edzapp for 5 months now, not a lot of openings for art teachers. What is the general hiring climate in Oregon now? I've never heard anything positive, and know the state had a lot of trouble about 10 years ago, but I don't know how it stands now. Is there still a problem or have things just leveled off and not really improved? Is it a state funding issue? Is the education field too saturated? Is it a state wide issue or localized to Portland? Jenny
It is the entire state. Even in "the fastest growing areas" there are literally TONS of teachers.
My husband and I are sad to be leaving, but 7 years of subbing before getting a job in our area doesn't sound like a great time to us.

ginger JayTrust me people I live here and there are just not enough jobs for all the qualified people. We hired 5 teachers at our school this year and we had HUNDREDS of applicants and EVERYONE we interviewed was awesome but of course we couldn't hire everyone.... Subbing doesn't work either- we rarely hire cubs...
I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted into the program
and will be starting in just a few short months! The program's
focus on reading and writing workshops fits me perfectly, so I'm
pretty excited about it. Thanks again for your help...
