New Teacher Bootcamp Kick-Off Workshop
Presented by Jim Kestner
The Excellence in Youth New Teacher Bootcamp is designed specifically for first-year teachers, though other teachers in early stages of their careers will also benefit from the workshop. During this one-day session, Jim Kestner will provide hands-on, practical preparation that will equip teachers to
*Improve classroom management
*Motivate students to engage in learning
*Differentiate instruction in ways that empower teachers to move beyond teaching to the middle, helping struggling students while simultaneously challenging gifted students to push themselves to realize their potential.
Even better, the workshop provides an introduction to the modular-based follow-up program which provides individualized support throughout the year, providing teachers with web-based modules AND live phone and video conference support for handling the entire realm of situations that come up through the year, including the unexpected. In addition to the topics of the workshop, follow-up Bootcamp modules address
*Curriculum development and alignment
*Student assessment
*Building student character, and more.
Sessions also support teachers themselves, including
