Professional development opportunity for new grads, Wyoming teachers

First-year Wyoming teachers who graduated from UW have an opportunity to receive professional development funding, via the Lola B. Newcomb Beginning Teacher Support Grant.

Grant recipients will receive a $1,000 grant to provide mentoring to them in their classrooms during the academic school year. Representative activities include attending a professional meeting in their curricular area, visiting other classrooms, or inviting mentors to their classrooms. Grant funds may be used for travel expenses, substitute teacher expenses (while participating in professional development activities or visits to mentor classrooms), classroom equipment, additions to a classroom library, or field trips. The overall plan must include some type of mentoring to increase the knowledge and teaching skills of the beginning teacher; all purchases or activities also must relate to that goal.

A copy of the application is available here (Microsoft Word).
