Outreach To Teach
I want to thank everyone who participated in the makeover of Dort Elementary School last weekend. It was a huge success. Teachers, Parents, and most importantly, the kids all felt the energy, commitment and hard work that went into the transformation. According to the teachers, there were smiles and eyes full of wonder and surprise as everyone entered the school Monday morning. And the teachers felt honored to have someone pay attention to them and all the hard work they do by updating the teacher’s lounge. Working in a political climate that makes school employees a punching bag takes a toll on everyone. What we did last month showed everyone who teaches and/or learns at that school that we care.
Thanks for taking the time out of your already full lives to help with this important project.

Student Teacher Mentoring Program
Are you an education student?
Are you student teaching or about to be student teaching? Would you like a friendly and helpful resource to use as a sounding board for your ideas, fears and challenges? Are you a Student MEA member? If the answer is yes, read on.
MEA-Retired is working with Student MEA to build a mentoring program designed to support MEA student members who intend to become teachers. Students should be in the pre-student teaching or student teaching phase of their program.
This mentoring experience is intended to provide mentees a friendly and helpful resource to use as a sounding board for their ideas, to help them reἀect upon and analyze various teaching strategies, and to seek new or different ideas from experienced retired professionals.
