Applications from school administrators and university professors or from a teacher in the first year of retirement will be considered.  \nYou must have moderate to superior computer skills. For example, the Iditarod Teacher on the Trail will be required to post lessons and articles to the Official Iditarod EDU website monthly before, during, and after time on the trail. Making technology connections on the trail is sometimes a challenge, thus creating situations requiring you to problem solve. We do provide technology training and assistance. Skills in technology are a requirement. (For example: Writing/Editing, PowerPoint, Excel, Digital Camera, PDF, Email, Chat, Skype, Flipgrid, etc. )  \nYou must be able to commit a substantial amount of time during the entire tenure. The Iditarod Teacher on the Trail TM will be responsible for representing the Iditarod Trail Committee’s ongoing educational program for a full year, beginning with selection and ending in June after having experienced the Iditarod as the Teacher on the Trail. The teacher will post lessons and information monthly from July through the race and continue through the conclusion of the school year. The teacher will spend about 4 – 5 weeks in Alaska during the race.  \nDear applicant,  \nThe Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is a rich story that has many full chapters. If it were written in continuity, the characters and settings would be familiar, yet changing, and the plot would have numerous turning points, cliffhangers, surprise endings, and joyous celebrations. Yet it stands where it is today rooted in how it began; it is a thread that runs deeply through history, culture, and people, binding ancient traditions to revolutionary developments. It is a story that continues year after year. The role of the Teacher on the Trail is to support the Iditarod Education Department in empowering teachers with the powerful instructional tool the Iditarod truly is.  \nTo be the educational liaison between the Iditarod Education Department and thousands of other educators, students, and communities around the world is not just a professional achievement, but one of a statement of belief. Belief in the ancient ways of native people, belief in the thrill of a connection between humans and nature, belief in how the past ties to the future, and belief in authentic education and how it effects change in learners.  \nAs you consider the journey through this application, don’t be daunted by its complexity, but be inspired by its requirements. Be impelled to contemplate your teaching practicesand your personal and professional goals. Just as on the trail there are challenges, you may face challenges in completing this application. As a lifelong learner, you will problem-solve and overcome them. Like you tell your students, investing hard work and commitment to the process shows grit and determination which results in success.  \nBeing highly qualified","cbCaicQ4gKXbfhUP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicQ4gKXbfhUP","pdf",252794,22,"English","# Qualifications for Applying\n## Required Portfolio Organization\n## Overview of Sections\n## Application Requirements\n## The Selection Process\n## Responsibilities as Teacher on the Trail\n## Accommodations on the Trail\n## Participant’s Release Form\n## Photo Release Form\n## Iditarod Dates and Timeline\n## Lesson Plan Template\n## Calendar Template","[{\"question\":\"What are the minimum teaching qualifications to apply?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must be teaching from preschool/kindergarten through grade twelve and have at least five years of teaching experience, with 3 of those years incorporating the Iditarod into their curriculum within the five years prior to applying.\"},{\"question\":\"What technology skills are required?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must have moderate to superior computer skills to post lessons and articles monthly to the Official Iditarod EDU website, including the ability to handle technology-related problem-solving with available training and assistance.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the portfolio be organized and submitted?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must create and submit five identical portfolios (spiral-bound or stapled) received on or before December 1, organized into seven sections including biography, educational and professional experiences, goals/skills, response to controversy, classroom instruction use, supporting documents, and additional attachments with an introductory video.\"}]","Application: 2027 Iditarod - Teacher on the Trail | PDF",1790229902,8]
