The University of Montana Western is part of a statewide effort looking to increase proficiency-based education (PBE) practices in Montana. They are looking for teachers to take part in curriculum work under the broad topic "Place and Displacement in the American West." Participating teachers will design a PBE-aligned unit, participate in four one-hour evening Zoom meetings in September and October, and attend an all-paid 2-day professional development trip to Cody, WY (including Heart Mountain Interpretive Center and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West) on November 6-7 (the program will pay for your substitute). Teachers will receive a $520 stipend based on completion of grant participation, up to $550 in classroom resources to create a PBE-aligned unit, and a copy of Proficiency-Based Instruction: Rethinking Lesson Design and Delivery.
If you are interested, please visit the project website to fill out the interest form by Friday, September 15. For more information, contact Katrina Kennett at UMW (katrina.kennett@umwestern.edu).
