Tiger Academy, a professional development approach that involves teachers sharing their knowledge, skills, and experiences with other teachers, started back up today. Teachers teaching teachers is a powerful method that can help improve teaching and learning outcomes, foster collaboration and community, and provide cost-effective and tailored professional development opportunities. By investing in teachers as professional learners and empowering them to share their expertise, districts can create a culture of continuous learning and growth.
The St. James R-1 School District also held another professional development event for aspiring teachers in our community. By providing learning opportunities to future teachers, it allows those interested in the profession to learn strategies and techniques while networking with other educators. The topic presented today was Brain Rules and Education: A Look at Brain Science and How We Learn. The Grow Your Own Teacher Program helps assist with mentoring, resources, information, and financial assistance opportunities on the path to becoming a certified teacher.
