Oregon's Professional Educator Fair brings together top school
districts and outstanding teacher candidates for a valuable time of
information sharing and interviewing.  (Customarily there are over 200
agencies participating in the Fair.  The economic downturn may
decrease the number of agencies and openings for 2010.)

When:

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 Open to all registered candidates

Wednesday, April 7, 2010 By Appointment Only (for interviews typically
arranged on 4/6/10 to registered candidates)
Registration Fee for Candidates:

Online registration on or before March 30 is $15.00. Registration on
April 6 at the door is $25.00.   Candidates will receive a manual upon
entering that will provide information about employer booth locations
as well as projected position vacancies communicated by districts when
they registered.

Registration for Agencies is at variable rate based on student
enrollment for Oregon districts and a flat rate for out-of -state
agencies.  Universities both inside and outside Oregon pay a reduced
flat rate fee.  The agency's main booth is supplied with electrical
power as part of the registration fee.  A single booth measures 10 X
10 feet with a draped 8' table and two chairs.  Multiple booths are
available.  Wifi is available for a fee established by the Convention
Center.   Separate 8 X 10 interview spaces are available for both days
of the event which provide a more appropriate setting for this
activity.

Time:

Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., registration begins at 8:00 a.m.
Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (For Pre-scheduled Interviews Only)
Where: Oregon Convention Center, 777 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr.
Blvd., Portland, Oregon

Oregon's Convention Center provides a distinctive site for this year's
Professional Educator Fair. Located near Lloyd Center-just across the
river from downtown Portland-the Convention Center is one of the
city's most attractive landmarks.

Besides the plentiful hotel accommodations available in the Lloyd
Center area, out-of-town visitors have easy access to the Convention
Center from hotels in downtown Portland. The MAX Light Rail line stops
at the Convention Center and there is direct freeway access from the
Rose Quarter exit off I-5 (exit 302A).

Plan to spend some extra time to tour this beautiful facility and the
newly refurbished Lloyd Center area.
