About Us
The Deloris A. Spear Center for Excellence in Teaching at The International School of Portland aims to serve as the hub for educational innovation and professional learning in the Pacific Northwest. Located in beautiful downtown Portland, Oregon, the Center hosts in-person and virtual workshops and conferences with world-renowned educators to support not only our own ISP community but also international educators from the Portland area and beyond. In addition to hosting conferences and workshops, the Center provides opportunities for educators from ISP and outside to come together and share best practices in international education, as well as work to develop a network of highly skilled educators who are invested in international education.
