Mentoring and Induction for CASA

Here are a few important pieces of information I picked up yesterday when I tuned into the Mentoring and Induction webinar that I thought I'd share.

1.  Click here  for resouces that will help you with this work.  A recording of the webinar will be made available @ https://www.educateiowa.gov/pk-12/educator-quality/mentoring-induction-beginning-educators

2.  The bottom line was this.  If districts choose to continue with the Mentoring and Induction Program as stated in the plan that was put on the required template last year, they will upload that.

3.  If schools choose to use their TLC Part 4 structures for Mentoring and Induction, they would upload nothing.  Rather, they would review Part 4 of their TLC plan to make sure it addresses their support of beginning teachers accurately.  If their current Part 4 is accurate, they are good to go and continue the work. If their Part 4 needs to be adjusted, they will need to submit a Plan of Change for Part 4 of their TLC plan.

4.  Below you will find a few of the pertinent slides that were shared and serve as great reminders.  Again, you can find the link to the entire ppt when you click for resources in #1.
