Elementary STEAM Leaders
About the project:
Updated for 2021-22!
A cohort of 24 Elementary educators will serve as Elementary STEAM Leaders over the next school year. This includes 11 2nd-year leaders and 13 new cohort members.
They will focus on professional development, networking, lesson planning, and school-based leadership during the 2021-22 school year.
Teachers who decide to join the Elementary STEAM Leaders cohort attend a virtual institute in early fall, plus 3-4 PLCs throughout the year. Each STEAM Leader receives a $1200 stipend plus a $150 supply budget for their lessons.
Counties eligible: Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, Wheeler, and Gilliam.

The project is a collaboration with Greater Oregon STEM (Eastern OR), Umpqua Valley STEAM Hub (Southern OR), Portland Metro STEM Partnership, and Frontier STEM Hub.
