Year 1

Life-Long Learner: Self-Efficacy

Essential Question: How might I begin to embody the Mineola mission statement?

The goal for year one is to demonstrate self-efficacy by building on feedback. Educators will focus on growth mindset development, creating a culture of learning, and functioning within Mineola's mission. In year one, educators will set goals based on New Educator Workshop sessions. The year culminates with educators reflecting on their first year in Mineola by answering the following questions in a 2-3 minute

video reflection.

What is the purpose of school?
What is my role on the Mineola team?
How did I did change the trajectory of school engagement?
What does Academic mindsets mean to me?
What did I learn?

The video displays student growth academically, socially, and emotionally based on educator's reaching their goal(s). Educators should end the year with a full understanding of Mineola's "why," vision and tenure portfolio requirements.

Year 1 of the New Educator Workshop includes a 15 hour salary credit in the form of:

10 hours: In Person Class time
5 hours: Project Development & Research

These supports will come from Instructional Leaders in the Mineola School District.
