The Pacific Educator in Residence (PEIR) program offers a 1-year residency for educators from the 10 Pacific jurisdictions served by PREL. A collaborative effort of PREL, the departments of education, and institutions of higher education in the Pacific region, the PEIR program enhances and develops the personal and professional skills of Pacific educators in the context of PREL's ongoing work. PEIRs focus on learning experiences that maximize professional development opportunities and benefit their schools and communities. In general, PEIRs remain employed in their home entities and return at the end of their 1-year term.
Selections are based on the background and content area knowledge of the applicant, with consideration given to equity among the 10 jurisdictions.
The PEIR program is funded through contracts and grants with the U.S. Department of Education and is executed through collaborative agreements with Pacific departments of education and institutions of higher education.
