The Bilingual Teacher Scholars program is a partnership between the College of Education and Oregon school districts intended to diversify the state teaching force.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Story Text” module_class=”aks-mod” _builder_version=”4.4.7″]
By combining WOU and district funding, the program is able to offer financial assistance to participants along with a specially crafted education program that includes academic classes in English and Spanish, professional development events, opportunities for leadership development and networking, academic mentoring and support, and relevant training through internships and employment in partner districts.<\/p>\n
In spring term 2020, a cohort of 18 students will graduate from the program. This is the second cohort to graduate from the program, which started in fall of 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a tremendous privilege for me to work with this amazing group of scholars!\u201d said Maria Dantas-Whitney, who coordinates the program. \u201cTheir perseverance, creativity, kindness, and commitment to serve their future bilingual students and their families are a daily source of inspiration for me. I have no doubt that they will become leaders in their districts and will transform the educational experiences of children in our state!\u201d<\/p>\n
