Invest in Your New Teachers for Success and Retention​

Equip for New Teachers is a 10-month packaged, plug-and-play, program that stands on its own or bolsters your existing induction program. It is focused on supporting new teachers through common challenges as they move from preparation into professional practice. Designed with busy pre-service educators, new teachers, and leaders in mind, the program includes resources, professional microlearning, and exemplary videos of highly-effective teachers in action.

Our long-term goal is the same as yours—to set new teachers up for success early in the profession in a way that will last a lifetime. We welcome new(er) teachers with zero to five years of professional experience. Participants will discover best practices through monthly asynchronous modules packed with resources, peer interaction, topic focused micro-modules, and facilitator feedback on each submitted assignment. Participants will have access to the Teaching Channel video library and on-demand webinars featuring their seasoned facilitator and a guest mentor or speaker. New webinars are added each month. The EQUIP Program Facilitator serves as a resource to address any questions your new teachers have throughout their enrollment.

Anyone can join Equip! However, we designed this course specifically for educators with 0-5 years of classroom experience.

Equip for New Teachers can be purchased by schools and districts. If you are considering a group purchase, complete the form on this page so that our team can help get your new teachers started.

This offering allows the participant and/or district to determine time commitment and level of engagement for the new teacher. Participants can access the content at two different levels depending on their needs and requirements: Purple Level: Access Resources, Tools, Information, Microlearning Modules, and Support To access the content at this level, choose what you learn about, how, and when! This level does not have required assignments; instead, it is meant to provide proactive and just-in-time learning and resources to help you succeed. Orange Level: Apply New Learning and Grow from Feedback To access the content at this level, complete the activities outlined in the Purple Level AND complete and submit all required assignments for feedback. If you successfully complete all required assignments, you will be awarded a Letter of Completion documenting 45 hours of professional learning.

Required assignments include:

• 1 Application Activity per Module – 10 Total Assignments
• 1 End-of-course Reflection

Participants who complete the course at the Orange Level can choose to upgrade to three graduate-level, continuing education credits with the American College of Education.

Enrollment is ongoing, so a new teacher can start whenever they are ready. The program topics and monthly sessions are built around the typical school year calendar. This allows any new teacher to enter the program at any time and sync up with other participants working on relevant content based on the time of year and stage of the teaching career.
