The Start Strong, Graduate Teacher program gives you the opportunity to work with expert teachers to understand the needs of your students, design curriculum, and establish a positive learning culture through behaviour and learning expectations.
I got so much out of this program. I feel more prepared and less overwhelmed. I work well when I can work through something step by step and I feel these sessions have really helped me with that. I will be recommending Start Strong to every new graduate!
