New Teacher Center Annual Symposium

If you are an educational practitioner, policymaker, or researcher with an interest in the needs of new teachers, you may want to consider presenting at The New Teacher Center's annual Symposium on Teacher Induction in San Jose, California in February 7-9, 2010.

In addition to new teacher development and support, the NTC also seeks submissions that address school leadership development, teacher policy, working conditions, and related themes. Submissions should exemplify best practices and current research and present new issues or topics, innovative ways of viewing traditional issues, and/or research that substantiates, promotes, and advances the work of teacher development and induction.

The NTC has released an online call for proposals. The deadline is August 10.

New Teacher Center Annual Symposium

If you're an educational practitioner, policymaker or researcher interested in supporting new educators, have I got the perfect conference for you! It's the 11th New Teacher Center Symposium on New Teacher Induction. It takes place in San Jose, California from February 2-3, 2009, with pre-conference sessions on (Super Bowl) Sunday, February 1.

The conference includes three themes central to induction: (1) Quality Mentoring, (2) Leadership and Professional Identity, and (3) Equity and Social Justice. Numerous conference presentations will be offered by NTC staff as well as representatives of state government, foreign governments, universities, school districts, teacher unions, and policy/research organizations.

The keynote speaker is Andy Hargreaves, the Thomas More Brennan Chair in Education at the Lynch School of Education at Boston College (my alma mater). Other guest speakers include NTC executive director Ellen Moir, Monica Martinez of the KnowledgeWorks Foundation, and Joe McDonald, professor at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University and director of the NYC Partnership for Teacher Excellence. Even yours truly will be involved in three sessions, focused on state induction policy, advocating for investments in high-quality new teacher support, and a focus group for policymakers in attendance.
