Program Details
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The women’s TIP is a modular, incremental program that has been structured to allow teachers to opt in to various courses to brush up on specific skill sets, or to commit to a comprehensive induction program in full. Over the course of an academic year, four separate six-week courses will be offered, highlighting the four core standards of TIP. Participants will be able to choose the sessions and topics that are most relevant to them, or complete all four sessions to benefit from the comprehensive program. All of the courses will take place live online in a virtual classroom and will be taught by expert instructors. All a teacher needs are a headset, a webcam and a few hours a week, and she can participate in an immersive, interactive, and enriching learning experience.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]MEF also provides a mentorship program that connects teachers with educational professionals who observe them in person or via video on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and coach them one-on-one throughout the year. Program participants will be assigned a personal mentor with years of experience, who was fully trained in MEF’s parallel Teacher Coaching Program. Mentors will help teachers test ideas, reflect on their own practices, model effective practices, and navigate tough situations. All our coaches have been specially trained in our TIP standards and will work with their mentees throughout the year to realize specific goals.
