    • Universities and schools, administrators, teachers, bargaining units, and teacher educators must come together to create systems grounded in principles of effective teacher education and professional development. It's about establishing system-wide norms and practices of professionalism, career-long learning, and inquiry into practice. It's about making a commitment to improving education for America's culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse students and the professional lives of the teachers who serve them.

      • Key Elements of Beginning Teacher Support

         
           
        • New Teacher Advisor:
                      New teachers have weekly on-site contact during and after school hours with an advisor, who is an exemplary veteran teacher released full-time specifically to support a small group of teachers. Advisors observe and coach the new teacher, offer emotional support, assist with short and long-term planning, design classroom management strategies, teach demonstration lessons, provide curriculum resources, and facilitate communication with the principal. Advisors and new teachers keep an interactive journal to enhance communication, problem solve and reflect.  
           
           
        • Formative Assessment
                      Support is guided by an ongoing cycle of formative assessment which revolves around the development of each teacher's district goals/individual learning plan. A professional portfolio serves as the vehicle for documenting the teacher's growth over time.

        • Professional Development for Beginning Teachers: 
             
          • Workshop/Seminar Series:
             The monthly seminars are designed to build a support network and ongoing professional dialogue among beginning teachers, and are developed to assist teachers with meeting the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse student population. Each seminar provides teachers with an opportunity to learn about the CSTP in the context of effective teaching strategies and reflect on learnings with other beginning teachers. Content standards are emphasized.
             
             
          • Release Time:
             Release time is provided to new teachers to observe veteran teachers, plan curriculum, attend professional development trainings, and assess their progress.

    • variety of carefully designed tools are used to structure the mentor-beginning teacher interactions and support each beginning teacher’s development in relation to professional teaching standards. The focus, process, and pacing of each of each FAS tools are determined collaboratively by the mentor and beginning teacher in light of the teacher’s individual needs.

    • Our ultimate goal and vision is that as beginning teachers exit their induction programs, they not only value the support received from mentor colleagues, but that they value and know how to use effective assessment practices in their classrooms.
