Important Reminder: FINAL REPORTING REQUIREMENT

To verify that you have completed the requirements for Year 1 of the Resident Educator Program, you must meet with your mentor and review the completion form. Both the resident educator and the mentor must sign that all requirements have been completed. Turn the completed form in to the Program Coordinator in your district. Check with the PC about the due date as it may vary from district to district.


PLEASE NOTE THAT MAY 31, 2023 IS THE LAST DAY THAT YOUR PROGRAM COORDINATOR CAN MARK YOU COMPLETED. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU TURN EVERYTHING IN BY THAT DATE.

Thank you, Teachers!

Thank you for all you do for your students! Testing, spring break, and the last months of school may prove to be the most challenging time of year for teachers. Emotions tend to run high for students and teachers alike. However, the end of the year can also be some of the best times you will have with your students! You are accomplishing big milestones, embarking on end-of-year projects, and maybe even getting to do some special activities outside. This is a great time to reach out to colleagues and mentors if you feel stuck or need some new ideas in the classroom. You're almost there!
