Affiliated with the New Teacher Center at the University of California-Santa Cruz, the New Teacher Center at the University of Memphis provides a program of integrated support and assessment and creates an atmosphere that encourages teachers to develop norms and standards of professional collegiality, inquiry, reflection and assessment. This process of formative, ongoing assessment within a community of practice is an essential component of teacher development and school reform. NTC new teachers develop the expectation that teaching is collegial, that teaching is a continuous cycle of instruction, assessment, reflection and planning, and that learning to teach is a lifelong process. |
