5. New(er) Teacher Academy: Making Small Shifts for Seismic
Differences
Instructor: Shelly Furuness-Butler University Faculty
This workshop is designed for teachers entering their first,
second and third year of teaching. Often, the first few years
of teaching are not-so-euphemistically described as the survival
years. Perhaps that's why the teacher attrition rate
continues to loom around 50% for those in the first 3-5 years of
their careers. What will it take to help lower this rate?
What will it take to keep our best, most capable, most promising
colleagues in the classroom? In a word: SUPPORT. This
workshop is designed to support novice teachers to THRIVE, not
survive during beginning of your careers. Using your own
experience and your own teaching context, this workshop will help
you develop a curriculum map and plan for the new school year in
ways that align to Core Standards, school district directives, AND
your own philosophical beliefs about teaching and learning.
(3 credits - graduate credit option available at an additional
charge)
Each participant will earn 32 PCP points. Graduate credit
is also available for an additional charge of $225/credit hour.
