Teaching As A Next Step
Wednesday, March 4, 2009
6:30-7:30 PM Eliot 314

Join a timely and important panel of pre-school, elementary, middle, and high school teachers and staff to answer some of the many questions you may have about a career as a teacher/educator: Why do people choose education as the way in which they wish to serve their community? Having made the choice, what's good? What's not so good? Why do they continue to teach and work in education? The panel will address such issues as your teaching options are without a teaching certificate.

Confirmed panelists:

Andrew Mason '90 Phil (MSW, PSU), Executive Director, Open Meadow Alternative Schools, middle and high school program in North Portland

Matt Parker (MAT Pacific Univ), 7th & 8th grade teacher in a high poverty middle school from the David Douglas school district of SE Portland

Carmen Ellis, pre-school teacher, Metro Kids

Sarah Gardner, Woodmere SUN Site Manager- Impact Northwest
