St. Clair County RESA will welcome new teachers to the county with a series of professional development opportunities that will provide support, resources, and strategies, while building a network of new educational professionals. The first four months will lay a foundation for establishing a safe learning environment, followed by three months focused on instructional practices. The final session will include a celebration of success and collegial appreciation for those who chose the noble profession of
teaching our youth.
Each month, Laura Chambless and Rachel Verschaeve will facilitate a Zoom meeting after school from 4:00-5:30 PM. Full participation will earn 10.5 SCECHs.
