The Right Start New Teacher
Support Program
Anne Arundel County Public Schools
THE RIGHT START, New Teacher Support Program,
assists teachers in their transition into the
education profession. Through a series of
orientation sessions, seminars, symposiums, and
mentor services, teachers new to the profession and
to AACPS are supported in a variety of ways. New
teachers have the opportunity to:
-
attend an
intensive, three day New Teacher Orientation
Program, focusing on AACPS Best Practices and on
AACPS Policies, held at both a central location
and at the work site;
-
learn
about instruction, classroom management,
character education, etc from nationally
recognized educators;
-
participate at seminars on topics such as
Classroom Management, Cooperative Discipline,
and Instructional Strategies for Student
Success;
-
collaborate with other teachers and teacher
leaders at Saturday Symposiums focusing on
topics such as:
-
Closing the Achievement
Gap,
-
Planning Instruction for
a Variety of Learners,
-
Time Management,
-
Working with Special
Needs Students,
-
Using Data to Plan
Instruction,
-
Brain-based Learning
Strategies, etc.
-
Becoming Culturally
Proficient
As an integral component of this
program, Right Start Advisors coach new teachers to
become Reflective Practitioners, and Beginning
Teacher Liaisons assist new teachers in
understanding the culture of their particular
schools.
The Right Start Program is an essential component of
the very high teacher retention rate in Anne Arundel
County. Additionally, The Right Start promotes
Teacher Leadership and provides a variety of
opportunities for new teachers to develop
professionally and to become teacher leaders at
their grade level, content level, or building level.
