SHINE Year 2 Cohort Updates

As year 2 teachers you are still welcome to attend our SHINE Workshops! You won't be eligible to receive the stipend, but you can now earn CPE and TTESS hours for your attendance. The topics being offered for this workshop will be Classroom Management, Time Management Tips & Tricks, Eduphoria, and a choice session with presentations from Aldine AFT, Resources from Library Services, Intro to Schoology, and Beyond the Equation: Building a Toolkit to Thrive as an International Teacher with Dr. Divina Browne.

You won't want to miss out! Register today HERE!

The first associate teacher meeting will be Thursday, September 18 in the Upstairs Foyer at the M.O. Campbell Center. You may attend either session -

3:45 - 4:30 (Elementary & High School)

4:45 - 5:30 (Middle School & Primary)

This tip goes right there with TLAC's least invasive corrections! Public reprimand is ineffective and can breed resentment in your students. Use discretion and talk to your students in a quiet tone, or away from their peers. This will go a long way in building rapport with your students, they will see your actions as a sign of respect for their privacy and dignity, and is more likely to result in improved behavior.

Consider the Faculty Meeting Rule - "don't say or do anything to your students in your classroom that you would not feel comfortable having your own principal say or do to you in a faculty meeting."

Secure your "flex" day on Monday, October 6th, 2025 by completing the required Compliance Courses by 10:00 PM on Thursday, October 2nd, 2024.

Gran Via Pro will be providing sessions that will help participants interested in passing the Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities (#160). Designed to boost your scores and accuracy, this session teaches you how to deconstruct questions.

After training, Gran via pro will offer online coaching events to help you feel confident about your test prep experience.
