Washington Mutual
Inducted 2004
Through a comprehensive, sustainable and long-term plan, Washington
Mutual continues to address a variety of school district and student
needs. Not only has Washington Mutual started a banking program
in schools, in 2003 it implemented a New Teacher Mentor Program
to address the challenges of teacher recruitment and retention
that many states, including Florida, will continue to face. In
partnership with the Education Fund they partnered new teachers
with recently retired, top quality teachers who offered on-site
mentoring and weekly support. Washington Mutual has impacted Miami-Dade
County Public Schools in a comprehensive and far-reaching way.
Their programs affect teachers, students and parents. Their commitment
and dedication through monetary, in-kind contributions and large
numbers of volunteer hours truly reflects the true meaning of
“partnership.”
