Are you a middle or high school math teacher that will be working with a student teacher in the spring of 2022? Would you like to learn how to better mentor and support your student teacher? If you answered "yes" to these questions, the KCM has the program for you — KyMTM or Kentucky Mathematics Teacher Mentors.

The KyMTM program will allow you to:

• develop a common vision of educative mentoring and
• implement educative mentoring in your work with prospective mathemtics teachers.

Through this program, you will interact with other teacher mentors, learn about educative mentoring, engage in mathematical tasks and reflect on your teaching practices. After selecting one particular teaching practice to focus on with your prospective teacher, you will explore the practice through a series of activities that include co-planning, data collection, and debriefing. Finally you will work with your prospective teacher to analyze student work.

Teacher participants who meet the following requirements will receive a $1000 stipend:

• Complete assignments for each of the five modules shown in the chart below, individually and with your prospective teacher.
• Attend monthly Mentor Teacher Study Group meetings. These meetings are online and with the other teacher mentors in the program.
