AAC Meetings

Individualized Advice, Assistance, & Collaboration

We cannot emphasize enough that this is YOUR program. We want you to complete your clear credential in the most meaningful way possible, and to do that, you'll need individualized help. Most of that is accomplished through hourlong one-on-one meetings each week with your Mentor. But in addition to that targeted and specialized support, we also have Advice, Assistance, and Collaboration Meetings throughout the year.

These meetings are designed to provide Candidates with professional development, answer questions and clarify program points, and allow for collaboration with field experts, other Mentors and Candidates, and program leadership.

In addition to the support your Mentor, Induction Coordinator, Portfolio Assessor, and Advice, Assistance, and Collaboration Meetings provide, there are also video tutorials to help you with every part of Induction.
