The future of journalism education is truly in the balance as the profession faces new and uncertain times. The mentoring program exists to give help and support to new teachers undergoing challenges with administration, students and even the current socio-political climate with the hope of keeping knowledgeable and passionate journalism educators in the classroom.
The mentoring committee is working to update the JEA Mentor Training modules in Participate to reflect best practices of journalism and mentoring in the current era. We will take the current course offline on April 1, 2025, to make necessary updates. We hope to have the new improved course opened on June 1, 2025. Our next cohort of mentees will begin on September 1.
If you are interested in beginning the training this summer, please fill in the form below and we will notify you when the training modules re-open.
