SEEC's Beginning Teacher Network (BTN) is a professional development program that offers new educators an opportunity for support and collaboration in order to enhance classroom practices. The program seeks to provide first-year educators with an opportunity for professional growth, collegial dialogue, support and guidance. BTN meetings provide a face-to-face forum for discussing topics that arise from the teachers' day-to-day practices. Key ideas meant to trigger discussion include classroom management, state standards, assessment and responding to student needs. BTN is funded through a grant provided by the N.D. Teacher Support System.

AUDIENCE: First, second, and third-year teachers
CO-FACILITATORS: Carol Beaton, SEEC Beginning Teacher Network Coordinator & Danette Brown, SEEC Professional Learning Specialist
