The Wyoming Teacher Mentor Corps

 

 

As an expert teacher, you know the value of receiving support throughout your career; especially during the first years in the classroom. The Wyoming Teacher-Mentor Corps (WTMC) is designed to foster teacher excellence and provide expert support for emerging teachers.

The College of Education is seeking nominations for Teacher Mentors to participate in the second cohort of the WTMC that will begin this coming June. Nominations can be made by any member of the school community, including teachers, staff members, school leaders, parents, school board and community members. Self-nominations are also welcome.

Teacher Mentors will support emerging teachers during the pre-service or induction phases. Benefits include a stipend of up to $1,500 and coverage for travel and substitute teaching costs. In addition to expanding their knowledge as educators, Teacher Mentors get the chance to establish valuable professional connections across the state.

Required activities include participation in two three-day summer institutes held on campus at the University of Wyoming, two fall and one spring in-person retreats, and regular virtual community-of-practice gatherings. Fellows will work with pre-service or early-career educators during WTMC training. More details about the benefits and requirements of the program are included below.
