Professional Learning
2024-2025 NTS Professional Learning Sessions.pdfTeachers never stop learning - that's just part of the job! As you gain new knowledge and are exposed to diverse ideas and perspectives, this new learning informs your practice AND translates into the work you do with your students, positively affecting their success as well! Investing in yourself as an educator goes a long way in ensuring both your growth as a professional as well as the academic growth of your students.
But through our work with new teachers and mentors, we also recognize the need to address the needs of the HUMAN who teaches, not just the educator. We're proud to offer two types of professional learning designed specifically to address the needs of the human who educates.
Marigold Wellness Sessions
Open to New Teachers Tears 1 through 5 & Mentors Only. Our Marigold Wellness sessions are created by the New Teacher Support Department to specifically address the social-emotional well-being of new teachers and their mentors. Topics will center on creating a strong community of support and how to build daily habits that cultivate educator resilience which all support CSTP 6: Developing as a Professional Educator.
Marigold Mixers
Open to New Teachers in Years 1 Through 5 and Mentors. Our Marigold Mixers are designed to foster the building of a strong, collaborative new teacher community in Twin Rivers. Each Mixer will allow time for you to connect with other new teachers to share celebrations and successes, discuss and problem-solve common challenges, learn from one another, and begin to create the positive, supportive professional relationships that are vital to each of us as educators. We will also introduce you to important district department staff who have knowledge and support to offer both you and your students. These sessions directly support CSTP 6: Developing as a Professional Educator.
