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).
