Elementary, Middle, and High School Mathematics Teachers
Do you want to have college students assisting you in the
classroom?
Apply to the Mathematics Teacher Recruitment and Retention Mentoring Workshop
A mentor workshop will be offered May 9, 2009 from 8:30- AM - 3:30 PM for those mathematics teachers interested in participating in our teacher recruitment project. Workshop participation is a prerequisite to involvement in this project.
The Mathematics Teacher Recruitment Project will bring together exemplary elementary, middle, and high school mathematics teachers and elementary mathematics coaches
interested in working with and mentoring college students who will be assisting them in their classroom approximately 3 hours a week.
This experience will provide college students an opportunity to explore mathematics education as a career option.
Twenty-five interested college students will be sought each semester to work with these mentors.
Responsibilities of the mentor teachers include the following.
Attend one tutor class meeting each semester.
Wednesday, September 2, 2009, 4:00-4:50 PM in the UA Gould Simpson Bldg, room 849
Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 4:00-4:50 PM in the UA Gould Simpson Bldg, room 849
This is the time that tutors select the teachers with whom they want to work.
Attend a picnic at Himmel Park each semester that you have tutors working in your classroom. The picnics are held from 4:00-4:50 PM, dates TBA.
A mentor teacher will be paid a $250 stipend the first year they participate in the program.
Teachers who have completed the mentor workshop may request tutors in their classroom in subsequent years, however no stipends will be paid.
Deadline to apply is April 30.
