What new teachers say about CNTC support:
- “The most effective feature of the CNTC program is actually having the coaches in the classroom with you to see the dynamics…They can actually identify some of your needs that you as a new teacher don’t even realize that you have.”
- “Beginning Teacher Working Meetings provide an excellent support system. They let you know that you are not going through this alone. They provide excellent ideas and resources for your classroom.”
- “The ongoing mentoring allows me to be reflective in my lesson planning and focus on what my students should be learning, also making adjustments when a lesson does not go according to plan.”
- “My coach has a lot of creative ideas that I can use as ‘quick win’ strategies the next day. If I need anything—advice on things ranging from behavior, differentiation, intervention, reading, a read-aloud suggestion—she always has one.”
- “My students benefit from my increasing strength as a teacher. That improvement results, in part, from the practical strategies and emotional support offered by CNTC.”
What principals say about CNTC support:
- “The one-on-one support the new teachers receive from the coaches is important because progress happens when a collegial, trusting relationship is forged around a common goal.”
- “The hands-on coaching and immediate feedback provide teachers with effective, timely and practical strategies and methodologies.”
- “The teachers are supported in a myriad of content areas and best educational practices are modeled and shared with novice teachers.”
