Tar Heel Teachers: Beginning Teacher Tuesdays!

Beginning Teacher Tuesdays!

I have created a new program for the newest teachers at my school (SVMS) in partnership with local restaurants.

Mentoring/nurturing new teachers is one of my educational passions. In an effort to support these individuals, I have devised a gathering session called Beginning Teacher Tuesdays.

The program is open to all SVMS Beginning Teachers in their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Years of teaching.
Veteran teachers who are brand new to SVMS are invited to attend.
This is a great way to orient these individuals to SVMS and the profession.
Typically, the meetings convene on the 1st Tuesdays of every month.
Time Frame – 2:45 PM until 3:45 PM
Teachers are able to clock 10 additional contact hours throughout the year.
Light Lunch

Donations and/or discounts provided by our business partners.

Guest Speakers

Central Services Personnel
Principals
Teachers from SVMS as well as other schools
Retired Teachers

Article Discussion

Articles read prior to the meeting in order to maximize time for discussion.

Open Discussion

Participants are able to pose relevant questions and matters for rich conversation.

Friendly Feedback

Beginning Teachers observe at least one other BT every month. During this segment, the BT’s share positive and constructive feedback with one another.
