Campus-based initiatives

September – May

New teachers will meet at least twice a month with their departments or those teaching in a similar content area in order to plan. This should allow the teacher to:

• Teach to the rigorous standards expected at TCC South;
• Evaluate the impact of instruction on student performance;
• Use student and classroom achievement data for planning and curriculum;
• Design instruction to meet specific learning needs; and
• Contribute to a positive school culture.

January – May

Once every three weeks—for a total of six observations—new teachers will be partnered with experienced teachers or staff leaders to observe peers and discuss best practices and strategies for the classroom.
