New Teachers
Beginning and Experienced
All of the EOD new teacher support is provided within the New Teacher Pathway. The pathway is comprised of two years of differentiated mentoring and professional learning. Year one focuses on Building Strong Classroom Culture, while the focus for year two is Engaging Academics.
We at EOD know that many factors will contribute to the success of our early-career teachers, which is why we ensure all of our support helps increase teacher credibility, classroom management, and sense of belonging which has significant potential to positively impact student achievement.
New Teacher Coaches lead the charge and provide Mentoring, professional learning, and individualized support during the two-year induction process.

Key Influences that Impact Learning
Teacher Credibility, Classroom Management, and Belonging
The New Teacher Pathway is built upon three key influences, out of many, that have the potential to positively impact learning. EOD has chosen Teacher Credibility, Classroom Management, and Belonging as our focus and has centered all induction supports and professional growth opportunities around these influences. Each has an effect size over .40, which indicates they fall in the zone of desired effects. Essentially, they have the potential to accelerate student learning!
Teacher Credibility
Students want to know their teachers are trustworthy, dynamic, knowledgeable, and responsive. This is the heart of teacher credibility.
Classroom Management
This key influence encompasses many aspects that help create a productive learning environment, including having clear procedures and routines.
Belonging
Knowing you belong and contribute to a group is an essential precursor to learning.
Culture preceeds learning!
