As participants in the tri-state Bush Foundation’s grant, UMN-TC teams including school partners, university faculty, and staff met on October 14-15, 2011 to discuss elements of the initiatives (preparation, support/induction, recruitment/retention, placement, assessment) across the 14 grant recipients. More recently, Bush (at the urging of university and school partners) held a Mini-Summit specifically on Teacher Induction and Support on February 18th. A representative team of partners and university faculty attended on behalf of our network. Thanks for representing our team!
