Overview

Tiger Academy is a Professional Development school. We house a Resident Clinical Faculty member and a Faculty in Residence from the University of North Florida. They both mentor new teachers, teach undergraduate and graduate coursework and provide professional development to staff. A cohort of teachers is participating in a Master’s degree program with the University of North Florida, focused on teacher leadership.

Tiger Academy holds monthly new teacher meetings for any new to Tiger Academy or new-to-teaching staff member for their first three years at Tiger Academy. The content of the meetings are determined by the groups’ needs and can vary from how Tiger Academy operates to Teacher Observations. Each teacher participates in PLC meetings bi-monthly and receives coaching from the ELA or Math/Science coach as-needed. Observation pre and post conferences are held with administrators or coaches to examine what coaching a teacher may need.
