We are on the road and Zoom to recruit the final cohort of applicants for the Montana Rural Teacher Project.
The Montana Rural Teacher Project wants to help YOU recruit and retain teachers for your district.
This fall, we visited schools and met with principals and superintendents in person. We distributed materials to front office staff and recruited at the MFPE Educator Conference. We have spoken to county superintendents and those involved with NEMASS and SEMASS over Zoom.
Our recruitment efforts have been supported by announcements in MFPE and SAM communications to their members.
30 spots are available: 15 elementary and 15 secondary.
Help MSU prepare teachers for rural schools.
Refer a potential new teacher to MSU's Master of Arts in Teaching program. This program offers applicants with a bachelor’s degree a pathway to complete a teacher preparation program and become a licensed Montana teacher in as little as one year.
Participants receive a living wage stipend while completing the 12-16 month degree program and two years of mentorship in exchange for a three-year commitment to teach in an eligible Montana school.
