Dr. Matthew W. Prophet, Super­
intendent o f P o rtla n d P ub lic
Schools, told educators attending an
annual conference sponsored by the
State Personnel Management A dvi­
sory Committee that team work,
guided by ethical relationships, is vi­

said. " A s I ’ ve observed effective

out most prominently is the quality
o f relationship between the teacher
and the student,” Dr. Prophet said.
