Subject: Million Girls Moonshot Monday: Opportunity for Free Coaching with Stipend!

This December we’re wrapping up our deep dive into how engineering mindsets further drives equity and inclusion. We've got a number of high quality webinars for you to take advantage of and we are still enrolling educators for our Virginia coaching cohort.


As we enter our last month of 2020 and look to the new year, we have exciting things on the horizon for 2021, including the development of a Virginia Coalition for Equity in OST STEM Programs. Stay tuned for announcements on how you can become involved!

Free STEM Coaching with Stipend for VA OST Educators


VPOST is proud to partner with ACRES (Afterschool Coaching for Reflective Educators in STEM) to create a special virtual coaching cohort and we want you to join! Over a series of five, live sessions, cohort community members will come together to dive into the skill of Asking Purposeful Questions and Modeling the Engineering Practices. These deep dives will be followed by practical application in your program and coaching, all with connection and reflection at the foundation. Our questions create a path towards discovery, imagination, and STEM exploration.

 

This opportunity is free and comes with a $100 Stipend! We have two time slots to work with your schedule, a lunchtime block, and an evening block. Learn the full details, including where to sign up, by clicking the buttons below.
