Project MASTERY

Project MASTERY, Mobile Access for Students and Teachers to Educational Resources Year Round, helps many rural schools that cannot afford new books, games, realia and software obtain access to quality educational materials.

Qualifying

Because of the sparse population and agricultural nature of the state, many small Montana schools have students who qualify. Contact program staff for more information.

Participation Statistics

  • Montana has 107 rural schools with 40 or fewer students.
  • MASTERY staff have traveled over 22,000 miles to qualify and serve 75 schools in 32 different counties.
  • Participating schools have ordered more than 1,300 items from the MMERC Library.
  • MASTERY staff set up and delivered more than 30 donated computers to rural schools.
  • All of these numbers are growing daily.

 

The Project

MASTERY provides access to educational materials for small rural schools with children whose families work in agriculture. In cooperation with the Midwest Migrant Educational Resource Center (MMERC) in Minnesota, qualifying schools can borrow from an extensive lending library of educational materials.

The Lending Library

The MMERC Library has a warehouse full of quality educational materials. The types of materials range from books to puzzles and games, audiovisuals to hands-on science experiments. Materials come in large thematic multi-media unit boxes and include teacher and parent references. They also have a large collection of ESL materials. All of this is free (not even a shipping cost) to the schools that qualify.
