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).

SERVICES

Construction and Facilities Budgeting, Forecasting, and Management

CREC Construction's finance department focuses solely on construction, utilizing budget forecasting tools, document management systems, invoice review protocols, grant reimbursement tracking, and proper closeout procedures. It is difficult for volunteers on a school building committee to get consistent daily reporting on the progress of construction on a large capital project. As a clerk of the works, CREC represents the interest of clients to ensure that high quality standards and superior workmanship are being met on your construction project.
