Program Description

MTDS Emerging I (BTAP)

Beginning teachers are one of our greatest assets. Yet, 17% of teachers leave the career within the first five years (Gray et al., 2015).  Research shows effective professional development is a key factor of teacher retention (Podolsky et al., 2018; Garcia & Weiss, 2019e), and as teachers enter the career, a collaborative community of learners can help teachers transition from their role as a student to that of teacher (Garcia & Weiss, 2019e).  This program is part of the Missouri Teacher Development System (mo-mtds.net), which is an on-going system of learning for Missouri teachers.  

This opportunity provides:
  • networking with other new teachers and educational consultants
  • just-in-time learning (critical firsts) 
  • awareness of the phases of a new teacher
  • relationship-building skills
  • on-demand learning, including videos by Mike Rutherford, author of The Artisan Teacher 
  • a copy of Mike Rutherford’s The Artisan Teacher 
  • awareness of legal rights and responsibilities for educators
  • competency-based programming 

Emerging I meets Missouri's BTAP certification requirements and emphasizes the following MTDS Competencies:

  • Builds Relationships & Culture
