I Can Do It
Beginning Teachers Assistance Program
|
|
Teacher
certification in Missouri requires participation in
a Beginning Teacher Assistance Program. MNEA and Maryville
University have teamed up to offer a meaningful and
convenient way for beginning teachers to receive a
certificate verifying completion of this requirement.
Attending this program
fulfills the PC-I certification requirement for "participating
in a beginning-teacher assistance program sponsored
by a college or university."
The
beginning teacher assistance program focuses on "I
CAN DO IT," a classroom management program. Other
topics include creating a professional teaching and
learning plan and maneuvering the certification maze.
