The Effective New Teacher: Strategies for Success Workshop
New teachers entering education face unprecedented obstacles. Trends show that teachers with fewer than three years of experience are more likely to leave the profession. To succeed professionally, teachers, at all experience levels, need effective strategies that allow them to ace and embrace teaching while expertly navigating daily behavior challenges related to classroom management.
In this full-day workshop, a Solution Tree expert will offer research-backed tools and tips for motivating and engaging all students. This workshop will equip teachers with time-tested and innovative strategies that reinvigorate their passion for teaching, allowing them to not only be highly effective but also happy.
Participants will gain:
- High-leverage, easy-to-implement instructional strategies that have a big impact on learning
- Key elements of engaging lessons that ensure students stay on task
- A classroom management toolkit to build student relationships and create a safe and positive culture
- Tips to determine essential learning and ensure students understand the targets
- Healthy and productive solutions for avoiding burnout
- Resources for collaborating and learning with colleagues
Through honest, compelling, and relatable storytelling, our expert presenter will share practical strategies teachers can implement immediately to make a lasting impact on students’ lives and learning—while also protecting their own health and well-being.
