TPI Support Working Group Fall Meeting Summary

TPI Support Working Group Fall Meeting Summary
The Support Working Group is comprised of eight P-12 teachers and instructional coaches and five SCSU Faculty. This group met each month through fall semester, 2013. A brief summary of their work is provided below.

Faculty Involvement in P-12 Induction Programs
The Support Working Group completed work on the proposal: “Faculty Involvement in P-12 Induction Programs” during fall semester. The proposal’s primary consideration is the development of a clearly identifiable mechanism by which Saint Cloud State University’s faculty can be actively involved in new teacher induction in the TPI Partner Districts. Each Partner District has implemented an induction program that specifically fits their needs while maintaining a similar foundation rooted in the data identified by the Support Working Group in its preliminary stages of research for new teacher induction. The goal of this proposal is to identify areas in which SCSU faculty can take on active roles in supporting new teachers in induction programs.

Support for all SCSU Graduates
The group’s current work has a focus on supporting SCSU Graduates whether they are teaching in our TPI Partner Districts or elsewhere around the globe. This support will take place in an online format. We are consulting with SCSU and other entities regarding potential platforms. We are focusing the content on current initiatives in our P-12 Partner District Induction Programs that have been assessed and are making a positive impact on new teachers and the students they teach.


How do you think SCSU Faculty and P-12 Educators could be involved in an online system of support for new teachers in our Partner Districts and SCSU Graduates around the globe?
