Trout Unlimited’s youth camp on the Yellowstone River in Montana is now accepting applications for the summer of 2004 (students ages 12-15). This year’s camp will be a week full of fly fishing, field trips, conservation activities, and more in a beautiful Montana setting. Please see the attached link for more information. Full color brochures are available upon request. We are only accepting 20 kids this year, so space is limited.
I would love to work with any organization to help them sponsor a student. We are accepting applications from kids from all over the country, making it a wonderful recreational and educational experience. Please let me know if you are interested and please forward to anyone who may be interested. Thanks for all the help.
Take care and happy holidays

I am currently student teaching in a small rural town in Montana and am attempting to track down a teaching vacancy around the Helena area. I have attempted to find jobs online for the Helena area, but I have come up empty handed. If anyone has heard about a possible vacancy I would appreciate you sending word in my direction. Thanks so much.

Congratulations in your teaching in Montana. Best chance now is to get on the web with MET which is the Montana teachers'resource center. It lists all the jobs that are coming in right now all across Montana. Your next step is to attend the University of Montana's Career Fair which is May 2, and 3rd.
Also, get hold of Helena's phone directory and phone the district office and ask them when they are posting their vacancies for next year.
Hope this helps and my best goes to you. It is enjoyable working with kids.
So, is there anyone out there who teaches in Montana and loves it? My husband is looking for a teaching job in Montana right now and I am wondering if we should even bother. All I have heard or read is how the pay is low and it is tough to pay the bills. Maybe we should try another state. Is it really as bad as I have heard?

Closing the Gap/NCLB/GEAR UP: "From High School to College, Boarding Pass to Success," book that will motivate Latino, African-American, other minorities and underprivileged students and help them to succeed in High School and in their race for College.
Information is power; sadly, even today, in the high tech information era, we can see that many kids (minorities or not) in low-income neighborhoods do not get beyond high school basically for lack of information and motivation.
Both inspirational and informative, this book traces the successful journey of a first generation Hispanic family in what represents for them "the land of opportunities," the USA, and their struggle to bring their children into Ivy League universities against all odds. If these children were able to do it, every child that follows their path can succeed. By encouraging the goal of getting a college degree in order to have a better life and to give a better life to your own kids, by showing that caressing a dream that can come true, that pursuing a goal that can be reached will definitely make a positive impact in their lives.
The story is complemented with practical information: A five-page detailed chart, "The Landmarks Along the Road," that shows, step by step, what needs to be done throughout the four years of high school, indicating not only deadlines, but approximate starting dates which will allow students to complete each step on time; an extensive list of useful URLs of sites with free practice tests, and a section on how, and where get funding for college.
Since the book details, step by step, what they need to do in high school to prepare for college, it can be assigned as a required reading in the summer between middle school and high school, or in the summer of the freshman year, when they still have time to close the gap so no child is left behind.
For further information or READ SOME CHAPTERS go to: [link removed]
There are a couple of ways in which you can encourage your students to read the book: including it in the reading lists, so they buy it and read it, designate some of the "Gear Up" funds to purchase it for the minority and low income neighborhoods kids who cannot afford it.
Should you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I am collecting data about enviromental knowledge, opinions, habits and preparedness of 7 - 15 years old students. For this purpose I have composed a survey which can be accessed at
[link removed]
Based on the answers of your students I'm writing my thesis which will investigate and compare the relations to natural enviroment of elementary school students in some European countries. Additionally it can give a approximate guess on the condition of environment from a student's viewpoint.

Hi! I am looking for a teaching job in Montana, but I am not to sure it would be a smart move for me. I love Montana. I spent two summers up there and want to go back so badly. I am currently coacing and teaching PE here in Texas and am orgianlly certified in Agriculture Education and also have my PE and Sepcial Ed certifications. Does anyone know what it would take to get certified in Montana and what the pay would be like? Would I be able to take care of me and my son? Would the pay be enough? I want to be in the Missoula, Helena, Ovando area. Are there usually jobs there? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Jessica
I am currently a biology teacher in Kansas and would like to move to Montana to teach. I also have certificate to teach any of the social sciences. I keep hearing how Montana is desperate for teachers but looking online I find nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks, Leonard

Get connected to MET=Montana electronic Telecommunication network. They list jobs 24/7. You should also get a map of Montana as there are alot of small towns in need of teachers. If you are under 40 years of age you should have no problem. Good Luck.
I left Montana in 1987 to teach. I am currently a Counselor in El Paso, Texas. I have entertained the idea of moving back to Montana to teach, but I know I would lose a lot of pay. Also, I only have 12 years til retirement. So against my sister's wishes I am staying. After I retire I will look at Las Vegas, 1000 miles closer to home. Lots of teaching jobs in El Paso, if anyone is interested.
