Seeking Mentors

MentorMT offers grade-level and subject-area mentoring for new and underprepared rural teachers, helping them build effective pedagogy and content knowledge in their grade level and discipline. Up to 50 K-12 teachers will be partnered with mentors next year. They are seeking experienced Montana educators, including social studies teachers, to become mentors. Mentors are paid $500 for training and up to $2,000 for mentoring. If you have over three years of full-time classroom teaching experience, demonstrated expertise in content and pedagogy within a grade band, and experience with and empathy toward rural education issues, this opportunity might be for you.

Learn more about the program and find an application link here. Applications are due May 24, 2023. Questions? Contact Jennifer Luebeck, Montana State University: jennifer.luebeck@montana.edu or (406) 994-5341.

On an entirely different note, a teacher also sent me information about an educator workshop, Through Our Eyes: People of Japanese Ancestry from Mass Incarceration to Segregation in 1940s America. The one-day workshop is being held in Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Washington, DC (online). Attendees earn a $300 stipend.  Find dates, additional information, and registration information here. 

Finally, it's not too late to complete our end-of-the-year survey and enter your name for a prize!
