Anna, For your mentoring efforts you might want to review the Esri ConnectED Program. Esri pledged, through the White House’s ConnectEd Program, free ArcGIS Online licenses to all K-12 schools in the US (public and private). http://www.esri.com/connected Also, every July (application deadline is closed for this year) there is an institute for educators who teach teachers GIS. It is offered at Esri HQ in Redlands, and mostly funded. Once you become T3G alumna, you get guidance from the 3TG trainers, plus the T3G community is amazingly committed to the K-12 GIS efforts. http://edcommunity.esri.com/educational-roles/t3g-educators Note: There will be an informal T3G gathering during Esri EdUC in San Diego. If you are attending the conference and interested, send me a note. I hope this helps, Miriam ----- Miriam Olivares, GISP GIS Librarian Center for Science and Social Science Information<http://csssi.yale.edu/> Yale University Voicemail 203.436.5891 | GIS LibGuide<http://guides.library.yale.edu/gis> | Get an appointment!<http://guides.library.yale.edu/gis> Let's work together to transform your project through the geospatial lens From: Northeast Arc Users Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lisa Jordan Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 10:46 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Bringing GIS into local schools You might check out the GeoMentor Program: http://edcommunity.esri.com/educational-roles/GeoMentors<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__edcommunity.esri.com_educational-2Droles_GeoMentors&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=bhblLezUALewsVbFIqDuVnM2TN8YMu5_WQW8JTconw8&m=JEEKLAUagu1v1oFF35Mz7l4wcsHTlAc5AXyKorrr-60&s=vI0odBt5fec6fRCPGiEiZpvMIWVtwefj-tTTNF_8-Xw&e=> Thanks, Lisa Lisa Jordan Director, Spatial Data Center Drew University p: 973-408-3740 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> 36 Madison Ave. Madison NJ 07940 http://www.drew.edu/ess/about/drews-spatial-data-center<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.drew.edu_ess_about_drews-2Dspatial-2Ddata-2Dcenter&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=bhblLezUALewsVbFIqDuVnM2TN8YMu5_WQW8JTconw8&m=JEEKLAUagu1v1oFF35Mz7l4wcsHTlAc5AXyKorrr-60&s=9vwbm3_Z-Z5WhyV-WsaxvUh9lSoMMkY8_liSZ0vNM8g&e=> On Wed, May 18, 2016 at 10:32 AM, Johnston, Anna M -FS <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Hi All, I would like to volunteer in our local school system to teach kids about GIS and all the cool things we do.
