Part-time EdReady Montana Primary/Secondary and Higher Education Ambassadors Wanted

The MTDA EdReady Montana project is seeking to hire Primary/Secondary and Higher Education Ambassadors to serve as the communication and training link between the Montana Digital Academy’s EdReady Montana team and universities, the public, and private schools in Montana.

The Ambassador has been a key face-to-face contact person for our team and will be responsible for establishing regular communication with and providing professional development training to the primary/secondary schools and/or higher education personnel representing institutions all around Montana.  These sessions will (most likely) be virtual in 2020 and 2021 depending on the state of the Covid-19 response in Montana.
