TRRE Cohort Update - Saplings and Seedlings
TRRE Cohort I is moving on to the first year of teaching and
the new cohort has survived the first Summer Institute. The school year is just about to start and 80% of
cohort I is preparing to teach in district partner schools. The hiring school
districts include Colebrook, Gorham, and Berlin. Our new teachers are excited to
set up their classrooms and launch their career with continuing support from
TRRE.
Cohort II is twice the size of our first group and more
diverse. We have a wider age range and a combination of men and women teacher
residents. Three of the new TRRE program participants have moved to the North Country to participate in the program; one from Vermont and two from other
parts of New Hampshire. TRRE residents in Cohort II have chosen the following certification pathways: two high school science, one middle school science, one middle school science/elementary, and six elementary.
Members of cohort II are about to begin their co-teaching residencies. On Thursday, July 12th, we held our all-day TRRE
Teaching Mentor Orientation at NCES with most of next year’s mentors. We spent
the first half of the day familiarizing teachers with key TRRE program
components and requirements, the calendar for the coming year, and all of the
program requirements for their Teaching Residents. For the second half of the
day we were joined by the ten Cohort II Teaching Residents for discussion and
activities tied to the co-teaching model and the ways in which mentor-resident
teams would be working together in the classroom. It was a productive and
energizing start to the process. Mentors and their residents will continue to
connect in the weeks leading up to the start of the school year.
All of our saplings and seedlings have demonstrated
commitment and dedication to the program, and TRRE will continue to support them in the next
phase of their journey.
