Beginning Teacher Support Program
The NC Department of Public Instruction conducted an on-site compliance review for Transylvania County Schools on March 8 that included a monitoring visit for the Beginning Teacher Support Program (BTSP). The monitoring visit consisted of an examination of program files, interviews with leadership/program administrators, and survey results from beginning teachers and mentors. The school system received commendations on the following program components:
- Leadership development among beginning teachers through the BT3 action research project;
- A robust network of support for beginning teachers, with teacher leaders design of the program, school contacts, and the development of mentors as strong teacher leaders; and
- Retention efforts, especially the opportunity for teachers to receive half tuition for advanced degrees.
A copy of the full BTSP monitoring report is available for your review. Congratulations to Beginning Teacher Coordinator, Carrie Norris, and Director of Human Resources, Dr. Jeremy Gibbs, for their dedication and support of beginning teachers.
