Educators - The Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools

Educators
"Our Foundation Educator
has made a tremendous
difference in the math skills
of our students. She meets
with small groups; works in
skill based groups, holds math game nights and consults with teachers on strategies for teaching math."

About our Educators
The majority of The Foundations dollars go to pay for Foundation Educators. Since the 2004/05 school year The Foundation has provided $400,000 to hire additional instructional staff in every Tigard-Tualatin school.

Foundation Educators provide direct support to students in the classroom giving teachers greater flexibility to better serve the individual needs of all their students. Schools are currently utilizing these Educators to help struggling students achieve in both math and reading; and in such specialized areas as band, school-to-work programs and drop-out intervention.

Our belief is raising the bar for one student raises it for all and that a better education improves every aspect of our community.

The Foundation Educators work for the benefit of all students and our whole community.

Tualatin High School
The Foundation Educator at Tualatin High School arranged real-life, one-on-one interviews for 450 freshmen with local employers. She also organized a professional-technical summit for the TuHS teachers in career pathways to link with business and college professionals. This resulted in ongoing relationships helpful in procuring a $55,000 engineering grant.
