Year 1 ArPEP at NAESC finished up their 2 weeks of learning today. Wishing everyone a terrific start to the school year!


Teachers in ArPEP year 1 taught lessons today to their colleagues. We learned everything from action verbs to matrices to careers in CTE and music! Our schools are getting some great early career educators!


New teachers and their mentors learned the importance of setting teaching expectations and establishing structure to create an environment in which students thrive. These teachers are off to a great start through CHAMPS training!


These dedicated mentors are learning from NIET trainers how to elevate coaching conversations and lead novice teachers in effectively using student work to make instructional decisions.


Year 1 ArPEP kicked off this week! NAESC ArPEP Facilitator, Gia Taylor, led a session on TESS and the power of being a reflective practitioner.


We hope everyone has a fun and safe day!!

Educators collaborated, learned from experts, and left with practical tools to better support every student, ensuring no learner falls through the cracks. We're proud of our districts for their commitment to continuous improvement and student achievement!


A big thank you to Nicole Bassett from CHAMPS for leading an engaging and insightful session with our teachers! Her presentation focused on proactive classroom management strategies that support positive behavior and build strong, respectful learning environments.

Thank you, Dr. Baine, for investing in the success of these future teachers!
