The Association of Teachers of Japanese in Oregon (ATJO), founded in 1987, aims to strengthen the network between all teachers of Japanese language and culture in Oregon through workshops, a seasonal newsletter, and involvement with other professional organizations like:
American Association of Teachers of Japanese (AATJ)
The Confederation in Oregon for Language Teaching (COFLT)
Shōkōkai of Portland
Japan-America Society of Oregon (JASO)
Consular Office of Japan in Portland
Our members include teachers of college, high school, middle school, and elementary programs throughout the state, and we welcome teachers of Japanese language programs that are outside of the traditional school setting.
2024年会員50名・50 members as of 2024
Our website includes community announcements, our event information, premade lesson ideas and materials (Culture Corner & Kotowaza Corner), and links to further resources.
You can join the ATJO through our national organization, the AATJ:
ATJO Board Statement
ATJO Stands in solidarity with all black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities, including Asian Americans, fighting against systemic discrimination and racial injustice. Our organization values inclusiveness, diversity, kindness, peace, and above all, equity and justice for all. We stand with our African American teachers, students, and communities as well as our fellow world language educators at ACTFL, AATJ, and COFLT.
ATJO’s revenue heavily relies on its membership fee, and recently we are experiencing falling red in the balance sheet. To help ATJO’s financial situation, we applied to the Fred Meyer Community Reward program. It is an easy way for a non-profit organization like us to receive donations from Fred Meyer; as you shop at Fred Meyer with your Reward Card, ATJO will earn a donation amount from Fred Meyer. If you have a Fred Meyer Rewards Card, please link your card to ATJO! Here is the procedure.
現在、ATJOは収入のほぼ全てを会員の皆様からの会費に頼っておりますが、このところATJOの会計は赤字に陥りがちです。そこで、財務状況改善のため、Fred Meyerのリワードプログラムに登録をしました。会員の皆様がFred Meyerで買い物をすると、額に応じてFred MeyerからATJOに寄付が入ります。もしFred Meyerのカードをお持ちでしたら、ぜひATJOにリンクさせて頂ければと思います。リンク方法はこちらから。どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
