NY Teachers: Apply to Lead This Fall's LI Sound Mentor Trainings

Stony Brook, NY, March 18, 2022 — After having to take a hiatus during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the Long Island Sound Mentor Teacher Program returns this year and is now accepting 2022 applications from 5th—12th-grade educators interested in leading workshops, which teachers across New York (around the Sound) can look forward to taking part in during the Fall. See the "Call for Mentor Teachers" (pdf)

The 2022 program, hosted by New York Sea Grant and the Long Island Sound Study, is encouraging topics centered around climate change adaptations, sea-level rise, and ecological health.

Three pairs of educators will be selected to conduct one workshop per team and will be given a $1,200 stipend per teacher, a travel budget, and a workshop budget to cover materials, location, etc. New York teachers across Queens, the Bronx, Westchester, and Long Island are encouraged to apply.
