Mentors will be the main facilitators of the CEA Fellowship. They will provide content learning and coaching for their assigned fellows. Mentors will support up to six fellows throughout the year and will be expected to schedule one-on-ones either virtually or face-to-face with their assigned fellows throughout the term. A stipend of $2,500 is awarded to the fellows at the completion of their term.
Completed applications must be received at CEA Headquarters by May 28th, 2020. Virtual Interviews will take place this summer TBD. In addition, the mentors will take the lead on interviewing for the fellows selection and will participate in a planning retreat this summer. The mentorship position is open to and will be accessible to all interested applicants from across the state. Geographic location will not prohibit full participation in the fellowship.
Fellows and Mentors must be committed to attend all face-to-face and online meetings. Dates and times are TBD. Below is a rough outline of expectations:
- Interviews will take place virtually during the Summer of 2020
- Fall and Winter retreat ideally face-to-face
- 2-hour online meeting in October, November, March, April and May
- Lobby Day during legislative session and a state board meeting in the Spring of 2021
