About the project:

Updated for 2021-22!

A cohort of approximately 30 educators will serve as Elementary STEAM Leaders over the next school year. This includes 10 2nd-year leaders and 20 new cohort members.

They will focus on professional development, networking, lesson planning, and school-based leadership during the 2021-22 school year.

​

Teachers will attend a 2 or 3 day virtual institute in August, plus 3-4 PLCs throughout the year. Each STEAM Leader will receive a $1200 stipend plus a $150 supply budget for their lessons.

Counties eligible: Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, Wheeler, and Gilliam.
