Instructional Institute for Lateral Entry and Inexperienced Teachers

September 17-18, 2009 (Chapel Hill, NC)

We had eight teachers from all the schools to participate in this Institute. Many of them returned on Monday morning to try new strategies that they had learned on the Thursday and Friday of the Institute. Please when you have time to go by and visit with some of our new teachers and keep them encouraged and to offer assistance.

The Model Teacher Education Consortium's third annual Instructional Institute for Lateral Entry and Inexperienced Teachers is scheduled for September 17-18, 2009, at the Friday Center for Continuing Education in Chapel Hill, NC.

The Instructional Institute features 2 full days of instruction lead by Harry Wong, a recognized authority on new teacher induction and classroom organization and by Marcia Tate , author of Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites: 20 Instructional Strategies that Engage the Brain. The Instructional Institute will give lateral entry, inexperienced, and some veteran teachers the job tools that will help them be successful in the classroom.

The registration fee of $100 per person, which will need to be paid by the school system, is due by August 25, 2009. MTEC will not accept registration requests submitted by individual teachers.

Space for the Instructional Institute is limited, and priority will be give to teachers working in one of our partnering school systems and to any administrator who wishes to attend with their teachers.
