The 3D Approach to New Teacher Development: Different Routes, Differentiated Support, Desired Results
Presenter: Jennifier Krnavek
Every new teacher enters the building with a unique set of strengths, experiences, and growth areas—whether they come through traditional educator preparation programs, alternative pathways, or career transitions. To ensure early-career success and retention, instructional leaders must move past one-size-fits-all onboarding and deliver responsive, highly targeted professional learning.
This session is designed for curriculum and instruction specialists, instructional coaches, campus leaders, and district administrators who are responsible for accelerating new teacher growth. Together, we will examine the distinct learning needs of today’s incoming educators, hear perspectives from campus, district, and preparation program leaders, and explore practical strategies to differentiate support.
Participants will leave with:
- A “Year At A Glance” draft of topics to help you differentiate learning for new teachers beyond the traditional “one size fits all” model
