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 WTMC. 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 merging teachers during the first two years of teaching. Benefits include ongoing professional learning and a stipend for non-contract time. In addition to expanding their knowledge as educators and provide much needed mentoring support to new teachers, Mentors will get the opportunity 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.
