Projects & Programs

Oregon Courage Community

The Oregon Courage Community sponsors programs, retreats, and events designed to nurture personal and professional integrity and the courage to act on it.

  • Courage to Lead  |  The Courage to Lead® program is designed for educators, school administrators, and others in leadership roles to help sustain and renew their passion, enthusiasm and commitment to their practice and the communities they serve.
  • Leading Together  |  Leading Together is a research-based program rooted in the belief that students flourish best in an environment where all educators feel supported and work together in a culture of mutual respect and courageous dialogue.
  • Courage to Teach  |  Courage to Teach® focuses neither on teacher techniques nor on school reform; instead, we focus on renewing something much more personal: the inner life of the teacher.
