Portland metropolitan area is a vibrant and growing bi-state
community with a culturally diverse population of about
1.2 million people. Portland State University is an urban
university with a motto of “Let knowledge serve the city.”
Portland State has an enrollment of 15,000 students and
has grown steadily over the last 10 years so that it is
now the largest university in Oregon . The university is
committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty so
that our students and communities can benefit from multiple
ethnic and gender perspectives. As a major institution for
teacher education located in Oregon 's largest urban center,
the PSU Graduate School of Education is in a unique position

the area. We work in consultation with preservice and inservice
teachers on the implementation and evaluation of school
renewal agendas. We focus on preparing our students to work
in our increasingly diverse communities.

Graduate School of Education has three academic departments:
Curriculum and Instruction, Special Education and Counselor
Education, and Educational Leadership. In addition to bilingual/bicultural
teacher education and/or English as a Second Language teacher
education and school-university partnerships, this position

through school-university partnerships focused on improving
the educational experience for our bilingual, bicultural
students and their families. The Department of Curriculum
and Instruction has 20 tenure-track faculty, who each year
prepare six cohorts of students to become teachers. In addition,
the department has an active master's degree program for
practicing teachers and participates in a school-wide doctoral
program. Following our commitment to educational equity,
for the last eight years we have collaborated with 15 school

program.
