WMEA Offers New Resources to Teacher Membership

WMEA is offering three opportunities for membership during Fall 2020:  Advocacy Fast Action Team, WMEA Virtual Gatherings, and Early Career Music Teacher Collaboration Project.

An Advocacy Assistance Team has been established by WMEA to help suggest strategies, present ideas, and offer resources to formulate your response. Access the Advocacy Assistance Request Form at this link.

After a number of well-attended COVID-19 Action Plan meetings this summer, the WMEA leadership team would like to gauge interest in continuing virtual discussions/gatherings during the 2020-21 school year. Please fill out this form to share your interest level. Keep in mind that this opportunity is available to both WMEA members and non-members. We wish you the best as you prepare to launch the 2020-21 school year

The Early Career Music Teacher Collaboration Project is the new mentoring program for the state of Wisconsin. The goals for this program are to support early career music teachers as they acclimate to new teaching environments and help them build a professional network. By sharing information and resources, both early career teachers and more experienced teachers will all benefit from ideas shared in these unprecedented times.We will meet as a large group virtually 4 – 5 times during the 2020-21 academic year. The first meeting will be a networking mixer; we will then break into smaller groups by region, by teaching level, and finally by specialty area. Interested in being part of this program? Please sign up as a mentor or a mentee by filling out the appropriate form: WMEA ECMTE Mentor form, WMEA ECMTE Mentee form
