Advantages to Sponsoring a Teacher
IISME Sponsors benefit from skilled, professional summer employees,
at a fraction of the cost of contractors.
Sponsors gain:
-
Eager and skilled temporary professional employees to work
on a project (without adding to the "headcount”)
-
Cost effective way to complete meaningful short-term or back-burnered projects
-
An avenue to reach their future workforce through one-on-one
contact with teachers
-
A direct way to improve teacher retention and the quality of
instruction in our schools
-
Community recognition as well as employee morale boost

Teachers who apply to IISME typically have at least a Bachelor’s degree in the subject they teach; many have Masters Degrees. Most are technically savvy and at a minimum are comfortable with MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The skills a good teacher develops to teach a subject and manage a classroom have value in the industry or university workplace. Besides expertise in at least one subject and a basic, comprehensive, working knowledge of related subjects, teachers possess the ability to:
-
Take a complex or large concept or process and break it into components
-
Identify the essential concepts of an issue
-
Communicate well in oral and written form
-
Work with many different personalities
-
Frame questions for information gathering, as in interviews or for research purposes
-
Make quick, intuitive decisions
