Coach Training and Orientation - What's what?

What is the difference between the "coach training" and the "BTSA or Intern Orientation"?

"Coach Training" is a multi-day training provided to introduce you to the New Teacher Center's Formative Assessment System. The first year of coach training includes a three day training on the foundations of coaching including goal setting, observations, analyzing student work, and understanding context. In the second year, the training covers coaching strategies to address equity, the learnin g needs of special populations students, and English Language Learners.

BTSA or Intern Orientation is a one-time meeting wherein the requirements for BTSA or Intern program completion is reviewed. It is important to attend the Orientation for the program in which your mentee is enrolled. BTSA teachers have a Preliminary credential and are obtaining their Clear credential. Interns are enrolled in a university program and are earning their Preliminary credential.

All coach training dates are now posted on the NTSD website. Look for the google calendar link at the top of the page. Please register for trainings.
