BetterLesson has partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to offer a two-year program for master math teachers to develop Common Core aligned math curriculum that they would share with other teachers. For those skilled teachers selected, BetterLesson is offering a stipend of $30,000 paid out over the course of 1.5 years for contracted, part-time, virtual work.
In the first year of the program, teachers would craft their curriculum and collaborate with other master teachers, and in the second year, teachers would hone the curriculum. Over that time, the teachers will further develop their mastery as teachers and, through the unique BetterLesson platform, be able to share this work with thousands of other teachers online.
Requirements include being a current math teacher in grades 6-12 with extensive teaching experience, as well as planning to stay in the classroom for at least the next 2 years.
BetterLesson is an interactive networking and content website “founded by a group of teachers from Atlanta and Boston public schools to connect educators and help them create, organize, and share their curricula. [They] are focused on aggregating and scaling the most innovative content and practices from high-performing teachers across the country.
The deadline for application is January 8, 2013.
