In the upcoming year we are implementing research-based interventions to target two initiatives: (a) strengthen and support existing teacher support systems, such as mentoring programs and PLCs, and (b) working with administrators to better equip them with knowledge and tools to better support early career secondary mathematics teachers. A second goal of the upcoming year is to develop and submit an NSF grant in hopes to sustain and support our efforts on teacher support and retention. Any interest in supporting these initiatives is welcomed!
