Faculty and Staff

"Be A Teacher" Instructors provide classroom instruction and support for the courses offered throughout the program. Qualified Instructors are employed on a course-by-course basis in teaching assignments that reflect their area of expertise. While providing high-quality instruction, "Be A Teacher" Instructors support each Intern's successful completion of course requirements and passage of the state TPA assessment.

NCSOE employs a team of specially-trained Practicum Supervisors who provide individualized support to "Be A Teacher" Interns. Each Intern is assigned a Practicum Supervisor who visits the classroom regularly, approximately 18-20 times (twice a month) during Year One and 10-12 times (once a month) during Year Two. Practicum Supervisors encourage and support the Intern's professional growth and implementation of a variety of teaching strategies while providing constructive feedback and recommendations.

NCSOE Facilitators work with the Leadership Team to support the implementation of the North Coast Teacher Induction Program (NCTIP) and Mentor trainings by presenting professional learning classes. NCSOE's Facilitators have extensive professional experience and knowledge regarding new teacher development, curriculum, instruction, and the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Facilitators participate in ongoing professional development, regularly and throughout the year, in order to stay current and increase their ability to expertly support program participants.

Mentors play a critical role in the success of NCSOE's Teacher Induction, Designated Subjects, "Be A Teacher" Intern, University-Partnered Intern Support and Supervision, and Permit Holders Professional Development programs. Each program participant is assigned a Mentor who provides ongoing individualized coaching, support and formative assessment guidance during their participation in our programs.

Mentor teachers meet with their mentee(s) for a minimum of 4 hours per month and are required to attend professional learning throughout the year that provides opportunities to enhance their coaching knowledge and skills. If you are interested in becoming a Mentor, please fill out an application and submit it to your HR Department.

NCSOE's Team has extensive knowledge of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession, the Standards of Quality and Effectiveness for CA Teacher Induction Programs, California’s Learning to Teach credential system and formative assessment, as well as exemplary educator experience in staff development and mentoring of teachers.

The Portfolio Review Team participates in ongoing professional development and training to stay up-to-date in supporting program participants with high-quality service.
