Welcome To Teachers Brigade
About Teachers Brigade
Teachers Brigade is a nonprofit organization that connects public school teachers with
retired teachers and classroom volunteers. Our mission is to roll up our sleeves to work
alongside classroom teachers and students to support them and to help them succeed.
We work alongside educators, students, and parents, in communities across Oregon
and Southwest Washington . Our purpose is to help give classroom support to transform
public schools into institutions that serve all students and teachers well.
Teachers Brigade Book fairy reading program
Reading is the Key to Fighting Learning Loss or the "Summer Slide".
Reading is the key to fighting summer learning loss and maintaining a child's current grade level skills, and for pushing forward to develop skills above the current grade level. When children are not in school, children and especially those from under-resourced communities, tend to lose roughly 20 percent of the gains they made in reading during the school year.
In response to the "summer reading slide" and to the educational challenges surrounding COVID-19, Teachers Brigade is partnering with the Book Fairy and her volunteers to deliver books to children living in the Portland Metro Area.
