These programs are extremely competitive, so if this is something that interests you, don't leave the application to the last minute (especially as the application requires a letter of recommendation.) 

 

Teachers who participate in these all rave about the opportunity and talk about how energizing and restorative the experience is, spending time, surrounded by other passionate teachers, learning something new. Often graduate credits are available for a fee. 

  

Program Formats

Professional development programs include the following format options:

• Residential: All participants attend for the duration of the project at the host site.
• Virtual: All participants attend for the duration of the project using an online platform. This can include synchronous and asynchronous sessions.
• Combined Format: All participants attend a portion of the project online and a portion of the project at the host site. Online and residential sessions occur at different times, but participants attend the same format simultaneously.

Here are just a few that I found in a quick perusal that relate in some way to teaching Montana/regional history or Indian Education for All.
