School District Partnerships

Placement

Teaching, School Counseling, and School Psychology

The Partnership and Placement Office maintains robust, intentional relationships with schools and districts in the Portland metro area. We place graduate candidates with educators who are leaders in their fields. The strength of our graduate teaching, school counseling, and school psychology programs offer schools and districts uniquely prepared candidates. Our students bring a social justice lens and an eagerness to hone their practical skills alongside our area’s esteemed teachers, school counselors, and school psychologists.

District-Affiliated Cohorts

Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling proudly offers multiple district-affiliated programs that enable paraeducators, teachers, and administrators to deepen their craft and advance their careers. Each program is grounded in social justice and equity-based practices, and utilizes Lewis & Clark’s traditional small-cohort model. With classes held in the community and online, our district-affiliated programs offer more accessibility for practicing educators and working professionals. Additionally, Lewis & Clark will provide students who currently work in our partner districts and join a district-affiliated cohort a significant scholarship award.
