Here's how you can connect with experienced educators as a new teacher in your school district.

A practical solution is to become active in the department meetings that happen in the school. It’s a great platform of learning and projecting your own talent and skill. When school provides you opportunities to participate in external teacher orientation sessions or capacity building sessions , do be an interactive participant and learn from the experiences shared. This develops the opportunity of networking and doors of new learning is opened.

Professional networking provides opportunities of learning through resource sharing, insights and advices on classroom management and planning of activities and handling challenges that arise in a classroom . This presents pathway to professional development through participation in regional events , conferences and workshops thus improving competencies and skills leading to exponential growth. Overall, professional networking helps new teachers build a strong foundation for their careers, providing them with the tools, support, and opportunities they need to succeed and grow in the education field.

As redes de educa??o profissional tem sido um dos grandes meios pelos quais, o mercado de trabalho encontra profissionais de boa performance para engajamento em assuntos que, muitas vezes ficam enla?ados pelo senso comum. O desenvolvimento educacional, com seu prisma ainda ministerial, busca ansiosamente por profissionais em educa??o que estejam intimamente ligados a uma quebra do paradigma jesuítico, ainda posto na América Latina. Há um abismo entre modelo de ensino, novas gera??es sendo formadas, e a necessidade do mercado de trabalho, que precisa ser preenchido com o profissionalismo educacional para o século XXI.

Being on a school committee allows a teacher to have a direct impact on important decisions that affect the school. Whether it’s related to curriculum development, school policies, or student welfare, a teacher’s input can shape the direction of the school’s programs and initiatives. Participation in a committee exposes teachers to different aspects of school operations and administration. This broader perspective helps them understand the challenges and considerations involved in running a school, making them more well-rounded educators.Thus they tend to improve on problem solving, collaboration and communication skills.

Online platforms are powerful tools that support teachers in becoming more effective, innovative, and responsive to their students’ need. Teachers can use online platforms to tailor lessons to individual student needs. With tools that track student progress, teachers can identify areas where students need more support and adjust their teaching strategies accordingly.They provide easy access to professional development courses apart from the digital resources that can go a long way in making the teacher an excellent educator.

Cada uno de nosotros como docentes tiene la responsabilidad que la información sea transmitida, por tanto, debemos incorporarnos a las redes institucionales, locales y regionales, al igual que a redes nacionales e internacionales, para que seamos multiplicadores y cooperativos, para que podamos compartir nuestras ideas y experiencias, para que podamos recibir información y nutrir nuestro quehacer docente, para actualizarnos a la velocidad que requiere la actual sociedad que cambia constantemente a un ritmo avasallante. Las redes profesionales nos actualizarán según lo requiera la sociedad

This has proven to be a very effective approach in my own career. I seek out educators I have admired and reached out to them. They remained mentors in my own career.

One thing I’ve found helpful as a coach is the direct approach. Going directly to the new teacher and supporting through student centered coaching is helpful as it provides real-life experiences for the new teacher with their own students.

Al tener contacto directo con otros profesionales con intereses e inclinaciones semejantes a las nuestras, podremos intercambiar ideas, opiniones, actualizaciones y avances relevantes a la naturaleza de nuestros campos laborales. Con los avances en la tecnologías de comunicación, no sólo los correos electrónicos serán recursos de comunicación directa, sino también los grupos sociales sectorizados por temáticas, estamos en la obligación de crear grupos temáticos serios, con filtros y constantes revisiones para garantizar la transparencia de los temas tratados, donde podamos verificar la identidad de los participantes y evitar perdida o contaminación de la información suministrada y compartida.

Como docentes, estamos obligados a actualizarnos constantemente, debemos buscar la información y formación adecuada, con el debido nivel de validez. Hoy día existe infinidad de cursos y recursos propios al alcance de muchos o de todos, donde el alcance económico no tiene mayor relevancia, pues los hay tanto de paga como gratuitos, que resultan ser informativos al igual que formativos, que pueden o no ofrecer certificación, que según los requerimientos y objetivos que se tengan sirven en todo caso. Con la objetividad que nos caracteriza como docentes, podremos discernir y sacar provecho al material que logremos encontrar y escudri?ar.

In our District we leverage our LMS (Canvas) and created grade level asynchronous collaborative courses for our teachers. They are students in the course(s) they are interested in.. We are able to share announcements, resources and facilitate conversation. It’s a great way to support new teachers in understanding the past and current conversations as well as things happening at their grade level.

Cuando trabajamos con educación básica y media general, es importante considerar el interés superior de ni?os, ni?as y adolescentes, tanto en la planificación como la ejecución de actividades con ellos y para ellos. Debemos hacer uso de recursos y estrategias que involucren la participación activa de los mismos en el desarrollo y ejecución del proceso ense?anza aprendizaje.
