=**Welcome to the Part-time New Teacher Developers Wiki**=

New Teacher Developers (NTDs) are a cadre of skilled, exemplary, and experienced teachers who engage in individual or small group mentoring with beginning teachers. NTDs work with teachers on classroom management, lesson and curricular planning, and instructional strategies. They conference, model, co-teach, observe, and provide support in all of the areas that are challenging for beginning teachers during their first year of teaching. They support school-level induction activities for new teachers, including classroom-based coaching and demonstration lessons, and help to coordinate new teacher orientations. Their work is guided by the district's professional standards, the Dimensions of Effective Teaching, and intensive professional development provided by the New Teacher Center.
