March 5, 2024 — As we embark on another promising year, I am excited to announce our latest programming initiatives that will shape NCTR’s Network for the 2024-2025 school year. Our unwavering commitment to innovation, growth, and educational excellence is at the heart of all our efforts. With this in mind, we have carefully curated a range of programming that aims to inspire, empower, and drive us towards our shared goals.
Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store:
- Differentiated Consulting: At NCTR, we believe that each organization is unique and has its own set of objectives, culture, and aspirations. That’s why we offer a personalized approach to consulting, tailoring our strategies and solutions to meet the specific needs and challenges of each teacher residency program. We work closely with our programs to develop customized impact goals that drive meaningful results.
- Community Learning Experiences: We believe in the power of shared learning and collective wisdom. Our programming fosters connections, inspires creativity, and promotes resource-sharing and supports seasoned program leaders looking to expand their skillset or the curious learners eager to explore new horizons. From interactive working groups to webinars and immersive Director Pods, our goal is to create dynamic learning environments that spark curiosity and fuel innovation. We focus on inclusivity, accessibility, and lifelong learning to build stronger and more resilient communities through education and collaboration.
- Network Site Visits: Our Network Site Visits allow professionals to connect with other experts in various programs. By visiting leading organizations, participants can gain access to the latest innovations, educational trends, and best practices. Our aim is to facilitate meaningful exchanges that catalyze growth and innovation. Our programming offers an excellent platform to engage with industry leaders and thought pioneers through interactive school tours, coursework observations, resident panels, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of program operations.
- Symposium: Our Symposium offers a platform for exchanging ideas, fostering collaborations and inspiring positive change in the field of teacher preparation. Through a series of thought-provoking presentations, interactive workshops, and engaging discussions, we aim to push the boundaries of knowledge and ignite inspiration.
- Data Collection: Our Data Collection Suite is specifically designed to assist our teacher residency members in collecting, analyzing, and utilizing data-driven insights. Our suite comprises a powerful set of tools and methodologies that streamline the data collection process, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and actionable results. With our suite, organizations can unlock the full potential of their data with customizable surveys, intuitive data visualization dashboards, and advanced analytics capabilities. Our data support can adapt to a program’s unique needs and requirements that can include market research, monitoring recruitment or retention metrics, or measuring resident satisfaction.
