Teacher
Residency Model Orientation |
TEACHER RESIDENCY MODEL
Interested in a new model of educator preparation to start this fall in the Northside ISD?
Registered for EDU 2103 for fall 2017?
The Teacher Residency Model will ensure that new teachers are adequately prepared and supported to teach on day one.
Here are the details:
We are working with Northside ISD to develop teachers to teach in Northside ISD. The program will consist of coursework and field experiences that will take place in Northside schools.
Innovative coursework, experiences in schools with faculty and students, access to innovative technology, support for TExES exam preparation, and opportunities to conduct research with faculty are just a few of the benefits of participating.
Interested students must attend an Orientation session on Tuesday, June 13, 10:00-11:00 am, in MB 2.220.
While we are interested in all certification areas, the district focus is on EC-6 Bilingual and ESL and 4-8 Bilingual and ESL teacher candidates. However, all EC-6 and 4-8 candidates are encouraged to attend the Orientation session on June 13.
If you are interested, please let us know! Send an email to Allison Baca, Allison.baca@utsa.edu,
and indicate your interest.
Students will be selected for interviews after our initial Orientation session on Tuesday, June 13, 10:00-11:00 am, in MB 2.220. Please RSVP to Allison Baca, Allison.baca@utsa.edu,
if you would like to attend the orientation session.
Access to transportation to the schools in Northside ISD is required. |

the Gallery walls and share their thoughts on UTSA, their goals and any struggles they’ve overcome.

Summer
Professional Development for TESOL Educators |
by KRISTEN
LINDAHL - TESOL Connections | Pub: 06/05
|
In the United States, the summer season is upon us, and it is always difficult to tell who is happier at the prospect of a nice long vacation…the
students or the teachers! Although vacation is a great way to recharge your proverbial teacher “batteries,” it is also an excellent opportunity to conduct some professional development (PD) on your own time and about your own interests. In fact, one of the
characteristics of effective professional development is personalization, or the notion that PD is more effective when teachers feel it is relevant to their interests, strengths, and context (Matterow, 2015). So, if you are looking for some new ways to add
some PD to your SPF for little to no cost, read on!
