G.R.O.W. BEGINNING TEACHER PROGRAM

The GROW Beginning Teachers program is designed for teachers in their first three years of teaching.  However, we gladly accept educators who have come back to teaching, are working on their licensure, or would like to share their experiences and learn from others. 

G.R.O.W. 

Rooted in best practices, this training opportunity will grow beginning teachers through their first three years of teaching.  This will include six in-person trainings, three instructional coach classroom visits, and two learning walks.  Additional supports, such as one-on-one coaching and coaching cycles can be requested throughout the year. 


The G.R.O.W. Series is designed by the IMESD instructional coaches with the vision of helping you GROW as a beginning teacher.: 

G- set GOALS for your year and celebrate your successes

R - REVIEW your classroom management plan, teaching and learning strategies

O-ORGANIZE your classroom space and communication tools

W- WORKSHOP and collaborate with other beginning teachers
