What kind of ongoing resources and connections are available to TEACH Charlotte teachers?
Teachers often look to develop their most basic, ongoing support network at their schools. Although every situation is different, teachers may collaborate with and access resources from other teachers at their school, district instructional specialists, assistant principals, principals, or a grade- or subject-level team. Moreover, school assignment and summer training events facilitate connections among participants who often teach the same subjects or are clustered together in particular schools or areas of the county. Practitioner Teachers may take advantage of district and school-sponsored professional development and mentoring programs. The TEACH Charlotte program office also makes PTs aware of professional development and networking opportunities throughout the year and publishes a regular newsletter. New TEACH Charlotte teachers can draw on these connections as a resource for planning, reflection, and shared encouragement as they strive for excellence in their individual classroo
