Apply for Annual Educator Sponsorship
Equity is one of ReMo’s six core values, and we are committed to leveraging our resources to support the educators and students who share our values but are financially restricted from accessing our platform.
That’s why ReMo offers a Sponsored Annual Subscription. We’ve designed this as a collaborative opportunity: as an educator, you will gain full access to ReMo for one school year at no cost and agree to use it consistently in your classroom and provide regular feedback to ReMo. We care deeply about community and connection; this Sponsored Annual Subscription not only supports your individual classroom but also strengthens our entire community through the learnings we gain from your feedback.
We invite you to review the goals, eligibility, and responsibilities of the Sponsored Annual Sponsorship below. If it is a good fit, you may apply at any time after July 1, 2024. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis up until December 31, 2024 and funding may be exhausted before this deadline. You will be notified of our decision within two weeks of submitting an application.
Goal: To support educators’ efforts to collect meaningful, strengths-based data on students’ independent reading and to foster connections with students over reading. After one school year, educators will have the data and experience to advocate for ReMo as an effective tool to school administrators.
Eligibility:
- A Maine-based educator in grades 4-12 that schedules regular time for independent reading in their classroom.
- The educator must value student agency and independent reading, and promote a strengths-based environment.
- The Sponsored Annual Subscription is available once per educator, and no more than 2 educators in a school may be granted the Sponsored Annual Subscription in one school year.
- The subscription may be used for all of the classes taught by the applicant educator, but access to the ReMo platform may only be shared with up to one other educator.
Educator Responsibilities:
- Schedule consistent independent reading time (at least once per week) throughout the school year, and use ReMo during all independent reading time.
- Advance usage of ReMo as the school year progresses, so that you gradually take advantage of more features of ReMo.
- Provide regular feedback to ReMo (at least once per quarter), featuring both educator and student perspectives. Feedback may be used on ReMo’s website or social media, and will be cleared with you prior to publication.
- Add at least 25% of your classroom books or 50 classroom books into ReMo before school starts.
- Maintain regular communication with ReMo.
