SIEC New Teacher Initiative: Cohort 10

Teachers, empower yourself for success! The SIEC New Teacher Cohort 10 offers a comprehensive two-year program designed to support and equip educators with 0-3 years of experience. 

​

Program Overview:

One of our Signature Initiatives at the Southern Indiana Education Center is offering a professional learning experience that will empower and support the new teachers within your school district. The SIEC New Teacher Program will encompass two school years and include at least 6 face-to-face and 3 individualized (coaching) sessions for new teachers. We all know the importance of keeping quality teachers and supporting new teachers in every way possible. This is a golden opportunity for new teachers to connect and further their learning with other new teachers throughout the southwest Indiana region.

Over-arching goals include:

• Enhance instructional practice and classroom management skills of novice teachers, especially those skills that weren't developed in post-secondary education

• Promote professional and personal well-being of novice teachers

• Increase retention of new teachers

• Support a new teacher induction process and encourage professional relationships between novice teachers, administrators, and colleagues

• Develop and apply a growth mindset to the classroom

• Provide an opportunity for new teachers to dive deeper into personalized topics based on individual needs
