The Southwest Virginia Public Education Consortium will sponsor a Teacher Employment Fair for senior college students who plan to pursue a teaching career.  Approximately nineteen Region VII Southwest Virginia Public School Systems will be represented at the Teacher Employment Fair on Wednesday, March 14, 2018, at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon, Virginia.  Registration will begin at 9 a.m., and the Fair will end at noon.  Breakfast will be provided at no cost.

Attention undergrad and grad students! The Children’s Center for Language & Culture, Inc. (ChiCeLaCu!) is seeking a Spanish teacher for its At Your School Program, taking place at select Fairfax County public schools before regular school hours.   Click the flyer below for more information.

The Literacy Lab, part of the AmeriCorps program, is reaching out to share an opportunity for students who may be graduating soon to get involved through full-time positions with the organization.

The Literacy Lab places rigorously trained, full-time tutors in high-need preschools and elementary schools, helping close the resource gap for schools so they can close the literacy gap for students. Literacy Lab tutors work full-time for one year with school staff and literacy experts to implement structured, evidence-based interventions with age 3 to grade 3 students on a daily basis. This short video should give you a good sense of their work.

In the 2018-19 school year, the program plans to place over 250 tutors in five metro areas (Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Kansas City, MO; Richmond, VA; Springfield, MA). Mason students could be a great fit for these tutor roles. At the same time, tutors can also expect to grow in this work, benefiting from extensive training and coaching in best practices for early literacy intervention.

M.S. in Educational Psychology student, John Donnelly, is seeking graduate students to assist in thesis-related data collection by participating in an online survey.  Please read his message below.

 

Hello Fellow Mason Graduate Student,

My name is John Donnelly, and I am a student in GMU’s M.S. in Educational Psychology Program. I am currently conducting research focused on the cultural competence of faculty members in terms of how they interact with underrepresented minority graduate students.

Given the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity that exists amongst our graduate students, this research on cultural competence is particularly relevant to our academic community, which is why your willingness to help advance this research by participating in a Qualtrics Survey would be so important and impactful!

Participation in this study is open to all Graduate Students, regardless of your race, ethnicity, cultural background, or your academic program of study.

Your assistance can contribute greatly towards improving underrepresented minority students’ experiences in graduate school, and your participation in this research via the completion of this Qualtrics Survey would be greatly appreciated!
