FACING A CRISIS: 'WE'RE DOING ALL WE CAN TO SUPPORT ALL OUR TEACHERS'

摘要

Q: What is the focus of your professional learning work? I oversee training for new teachers in our district through the district's alternative certification program. I also oversee training for veteran teachers who are becoming certified in teacher support and coaching so they can mentor new teachers. Through the Learning Forward Academy, I am examining the impact of the mentor training on teacher retention and student achievement, looking at achievement levels for students of the mentor teachers we're training and the new teachers they're mentoring.
