How
Topics: Chalkboard Project
Chalkboard's primary focus has become working on teacher effectiveness because research shows that having a highly effective teacher in every classroom is the most important factor in raising student achievement. The CLASS Project, its largest initiative to date, aims to put research into practice through better classroom instruction, more successful teachers and higher student achievement.

Why
Topics: Chalkboard Project
Meyer Memorial Trust has historically been a strong supporter and funder of public education and related programs, and we expect to continue to be a leader in improving K-12 education in the state. In 2003, budget shortfalls prompted some school districts in Oregon to announce schools would shut early – several weeks early in some cases. Cartoonist Garry Trudeau quickly made Oregon schools a national joke when he featured these events in his Doonesbury comic strip.
What
Topics: Chalkboard Project
The Chalkboard Project is a non-partisan nonprofit working to unite Oregonians to make our K-12 public schools among the nation's best and to create a more informed and engaged public that understands and addresses the tough choices and trade-offs required to build strong schools.
