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.

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.
