Rural School Teacher Talent Pilot Program

The legislature created the Rural School Teacher Talent Pilot Program in the 2017-2019 state budget to try and increase the exposure that teacher candidates and student teachers have working in a rural school within the state of Wisconsin, with the hope that more new teachers will consider working in a rural school

  • Experiences may be available in designated rural districts in Wisconsin for both field students and student teachers 
  • Stipends are subject to grant funding approval and may vary each semester
  • Candidates placed in designated rural schools will receive instructions during the first month of the placement semester
  • Process - Candidates complete W9s, pre-and post-surveys, and stipend form by deadlines
  • Stipends will be mailed to the address provided by the candidate after the rural experience has concluded
  • What districts are on the designated rural list? (Current List -- Subject to change)
