Credential Programs
October 2022
I have loved my time as the Coordinator of Teacher Induction. I leave this position filled with hope for the future of education. The new teachers who come through this program are filled with excitement and promise and are committed to learning their craft for the benefit of their students. The mentors who I have had the good fortune to work with are caring and enthusiastic and truly embody servant leadership. It has been a great honor to work with you all and be able to call many of you friends.

I leave you in the hands of Karla Paul. Karla has been part of the MCOE credentialing department for six years, most recently serving as the coordinator of our intern programs. She is committed to the growth of teachers. She is kind, flexible and understanding. She is filled with knowledge and I know that you will appreciate working with her. Please do not hesitate to reach out for support. Karla can be reached at kpaul@mcoe.org.


With gratitude,
Stacy

California Teachers Association 2023 New Educator Weekend

CTA’s New Educator Weekend (NEW) is a conference for new CTA members. This NEW conference is for educators in their first three years in the profession. The conference has everything that educators need to be successful in their first years of teaching, including sessions about classroom management, creating engaging classrooms, lesson plans and ideas, connecting with your union, student loan forgiveness information, member benefits, project grants and more.

Your experience at the New Educator Weekend is equal parts educational and transformational. You’ll learn new skills and find solutions to real-life challenges. You’ll leave the conference feeling inspired, motivated and with a knowledge of what you need to do to be even more successful on Monday morning in your classroom
