TOPICS

Mentor

CREC recognizes that learning to teach is a developmental process that continues throughout a teacher's career. In their first years in the profession, early career teachers face the challenge of translating theory from teacher preparation programs into practice and developing effective classroom management skills while planning and delivering instruction to maximize student learning. Becoming a highly effective teacher requires a lifelong commitment to continuous professional learning. We offer training on how to be an effective leader and the state-mandated Teacher Education and Mentoring Program (TEAM).

STRIVE is a community-based transition program for young adults with disabilities ages 18 to 22 years old. Young adults will spend most of their day developing independent living, social, and employment skills. Young adults will also participate in community-based work experiences based on their strengths, interests, and preferences. Each young adult's program will be individualized based on their unique needs and the decisions made at the Planning and Placement Team (PPT) meetings.
