Follow-up sessions are also offered during the school year.
University faculty provide on-site support.
OSU, in partnership with Portland Public Schools, also offers workshops for preservice and inservice teachers that address the needs of minority children, particularly in identified benchmarks in mathematics and science. College science, mathematics, engineering, and technology faculty are developing effective learning opportunities for future teachers. Model programs to recruit, encourage, and support outstanding prospective K-12 teachers of mathematics and science are being developed. A recent Eisenhower-supported project, Science and Mathematics Professional Development Workshops for Teachers of Minority Students, focused on assisting practicing teachers of science and mathematics to help minority and female students succeed academically.
