Credential Programs
May 2022
Thank you teachers!!! Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do to make the lives of students better. You are a constant in the lives of the people that you teach. If the pandemic taught us anything, it is the important roll that you play in the lives of students. You are a stabilizing factor that makes life feel normal to all ages. Thank you!

You are probably counting down the days until the end of the school year with your students. This is an exciting time of year where we look forward to renewal. Enjoy this time, plan something fun, go outside if you can. As we bring our induction year to a close, I want to thank all of you for participating in our program. The purpose of induction is to support teachers as they enter the field of teaching. My hope is that mentors and candidates built a strong relationship and were supportive to each other this year as we navigated some new and uncharted territory.

If you reach out to us this summer it is likely that you will connect with Amanda Taylor. She will be filling in for Jennifer while she is out on maternity leave. You may have already received emails from her.

With gratitude,
Stacy
