"Be A Teacher" Instructors provide classroom instruction and support for the courses offered throughout the program. Qualified Instructors are employed on a course-by-course basis in teaching assignments that reflect their area of expertise. While providing high-quality instruction, "Be A Teacher" Instructors support each Intern's successful completion of course requirements and passage of the state TPA assessment.
NCSOE employs a team of specially-trained Practicum Supervisors who provide individualized support to "Be A Teacher" Interns. Each Intern is assigned a Practicum Supervisor who visits the classroom regularly, approximately 18-20 times (twice a month) during Year One and 10-12 times (once a month) during Year Two. Practicum Supervisors encourage and support the Intern's professional growth and implementation of a variety of teaching strategies while providing constructive feedback and recommendations.
NCSOE Facilitators work with the Leadership Team to support the implementation of the North Coast Teacher Induction Program (NCTIP) and Mentor trainings by presenting professional learning classes. NCSOE's Facilitators have extensive professional experience and knowledge regarding new teacher development, curriculum, instruction, and the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Facilitators participate in ongoing professional development, regularly and throughout the year, in order to stay current and increase their ability to expertly support program participants.
