New Teacher Institute
July 2022–May 2023 Cost: $900 per person
In the face of a continued global pandemic, teaching is more challenging than ever, and leaders are tasked with retaining high quality teachers. Our goal is to help new teachers harness their time, energy, and excitement by ensuring they remain happy, thriving, effective, returning teachers. As research and experience have proven, one-size-fits-all approaches to supporting new teachers do not work.
In collaboration with district partners, the New Teacher Institute offers training with follow-up support in the field to equip new teachers with the tools, skills, and resources to be an effective teacher. The program builds teachers’ skills and capacity for building powerful relationships, creating a culture of achievement, and delivering high quality instruction.

We offer a hybrid educational experience with virtual and in-person coursework as well as personal coaching,supervision and observation in the field. Candidates are placed with local school districts for their paid internship year and continue to receive support from the program through certification.
Upon completion of our program, candidates will not only receive a recommendation for their Standard Texas Educator Certificate, but they will also have a keen understanding and awareness of self and student identities. Using this knowledge, they will be able to immediately build authentic relationships in their new classroom to establish critical norms, routines and practices that lead to student success.
