Keep up the Good Work!


You have made it to February - way to go! By now you are likely in a good groove with your students, lesson planning, and the ins-and-outs of the daily life of a teacher. Here is a challenge for the month: get outside your comfort zone! Reach out to a fellow teacher and ask them for some insight or advice on something that isn't "quite right" in your classroom. Remember, teaching is all about reflection and progress.



Whether you area a Resident Educator, RESA candidate, RE Mentor, or RESA Facilitator - remember that we are here to support you. Please feel free to reach out at anytime.

Resident Educator Monthly Update


This monthly newsletter is designed to provide you with helpful information and resources. Residency is a time to practice, refine and gain a deeper understanding of the art and science of teaching under the guidance of a certified mentor and the support of a professional learning community. You will be receiving monthly updates that highlight where you should be in the program and also offer helpful resources.
