Welcome to the First Years of Teaching Support Program
The Watson College of Education supports its graduates and teachers in our partnership districts in the first three years of their teaching career through the First Years of Teaching Support Program. This program engages teachers in reflective decision-making focused on developing instructional practices that increase student performance.
The three main components of the program are: onsite support and professional growth, leadership opportunities, and web-based resources selected to address the responsibilities of new teachers. Participants receive a certificate recognizing their active participation in onsite support and professional growth activities.
