The Oregon State Hospital has two Institution Teacher MA opportunities within the Supported Education program. These positions will provide comprehensive education services that teach patients the essential skills needed to successfully transition back into the community to reach their full potential. We are seeking passionate individuals who can deliver individualized, student‑centered learning objectives using assessment-driven and creative approaches to advise, encourage, and support students as they pursue their education throughout their recovery journey.

Supported Education services are provided to individuals or groups based on identified educational needs of the individual learner.  The teaching environment is non‑traditional, with classroom instruction lasting four to six hours per day and incorporating individual one‑on‑one teaching for four to five patients, or eight to nine when support staff are present. Coursework development is limited and tailored to each patient’s individual needs, with some patients requiring only access to resources to complete their educational goals.

The Oregon State Hospital (OSH) is a psychiatric hospital under the direction of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) that inspires hope, promotes safety, and supports recovery. OSH employs over 2,000 FTE and serves over 600 patients each day on two campuses. OSH provides therapeutic, evidence-based, patient-centered treatment focusing on patient recovery and community reintegration.
