Teacher Education Lags In Oregon

The Leaf Project

The ongoing focus on raising the quality of American public education generally falls on teachers. 

And a recent report rated more than 2,000 teacher training programs across the country. 

None of the top 100 are located in Oregon. 

Oregon's Chalkboard Projectis dedicated to improving education, including raising the level of teacher education. 

We hear a reaction from the director of the Chalkboard Project's Teach Oregon program.
