The Aspiring BIPoC Educators Program is a year-long professional development and educator guided pathways program is a collaboration between OregonServes, Higher Education Coordination Commission, campuses, community partners, and community-based organizations across the states.
Our program aims to increase the number of BIPoC educators in the state by supporting them through the earliest parts of their career development. With Oregon's history as a white-only state and racism continuing to exist at the institutional level, our program also seeks to address the root causes of academic engagement among BIPoC students and the underrepresentation of BIPoC educators. We understand that systemic barriers make it difficult for BIPoC educators to build community and seek advocacy as professionals so we build civic engagement, power, and community-building into our program model.
The ABE Program currently has active sites at Portland Public Schools and the David Douglas District. Our office is working to partner with Grow Your Own Programs across the state and will host our first summer cohort of 10 this summer in collaboration with Southern Oregon University's Accelerated Teacher Training Program,
