Welcome to the First Years of Teaching Support Program



The Watson School of Education supports its graduates during the first three years of their teaching career through the First Years of Teaching Support Program. This program engages teachers in reflective decision-making focused on developing instructional practices that increase student performance.

School districts in our partnership area work collaboratively with the First Years of Teaching Support Program to develop tools and resources that are beneficial in meeting the goals of individual school districts as well as the partnership. The three major components of the program are: onsite support and professional growth, online mentoring, and web-based resources selected to address the responsibilities of new teachers. Participants receive a certificate recognizing their active participation in onsite support and professional growth activities.
