Additional notes regarding attendance: Kinder teachers
New Kinder teachers who will teach only DI attend ETA Weeks 1 and 2, and the first 2 ½ days of NTI (Goals & Culture). New Kinder teachers who will teach only Eureka attend NTI Weeks 1 and 2 (Goals & Culture, Planning, & Content-Specific). If a new Kinder teacher will teach both DI and Eureka, they should attend:
ETA Week 1 in June NTI Weeks 1 and 2 (Goals & Culture, Planning, & Content-Specific)
If they teach both, but they can’t attend ETA Week 1 in June, they should attend: NTI Week 1 (Goals & Culture, and Planning)
ETA Week 1 Make Up (instead of the NTI Content-Specific sessions)
Austin ONLY: If a new Kinder teacher in Austin will teach both Eureka and Wit & Wisdom, principals should decide whether they will attend Eureka Math or Wit & Wisdom during the Days 3-4 Lesson Planning and the Days 5-7 Content-Specific sessions.
Engineering, Psychology, IB, Computer Science, etc.
Since curricula for engineering, AP Psychology, and IB are campus-based, teachers of these courses will NOT attend the content-specific days of NTI (July 30 – Aug. 1). Instead, campus leaders should ensure these teachers receive an introduction to their curricula, as well as any needed practice in planning and rehearsing course-specific content.
Mid-year hires
Those hired after January 5, 2018 should attend New Teacher Institute.
Returning teachers
Principals may assign teachers to attend 1+ blocks of New Teacher Institute: July 23 – July 25 (AM): Goals and Management July 25 (PM) – July 26: Lesson Planning July 30 – August 1: Content-specific sessions Note: A returning teacher who attends Returning Teacher Institute in June should NOT attend Planning and Content-Specific sessions at NTI, since these sessions will be very similar.
Flex teachers
Regional leads will work with VPs / EDs to assign flex teachers to attend specific grade/content tracks during the sessions on July 30 – August 1.
Founding Teacher Fellows
2017-2018 Founding Teacher Fellows (El Paso & Southern Louisiana) will attend NTI to sharpen their skills as they prepare to launch their own classrooms, and to support newly hired teachers on their teams. 2018-2019 Founding Teacher Fellows (Tarrant County) will attend NTI to prepare for a successful fellowship year at IDEA.
RELAY Residents
2017-2018 RELAY Residents (Year 2 Residents) will attend NTI to revisit key Beginning of Year skills as they prepare to launch their own classrooms. Year 2 RELAY residents will also be excused from attending BOY-focused RELAY trainings as a result of attending IDEA’s own New Teacher Institute. 2018-2019 RELAY Residents (Year 1 Residents) will attend NTI to prepare for a successful residency year at IDEA.

Campus-Led Sessions Classroom procedures and lesson planning expectations often vary from campus to campus. In the past, there was duplication and/or confusion for teachers when procedures and lesson planning expectations were introduced separately at NTI and again during BOY PD. Last year, feedback from leaders on the campus-led sessions was overwhelming positive. On the end of day survey, 99% of leaders indicated that they wanted to include campus-led sessions again at NTI 2018. Leaders also indicated that they wanted to expand the campus-led session to include a campus-led introduction to lesson planning.
Sessions, Intended Impact, and Preparation This year, the national design team will provide materials for the following campus-led sessions: Session
Intended Impact
Preparation
Campus-Led Procedures
Teachers and co-teachers learn and practice procedures at NTI exactly as they will execute them on their campus.
Campus-Led Intro to Lesson Planning
Teachers learn campus-specific procedures and expectations for lesson planning / internalization.
Lesson Rehearsals
Teachers receive feedback on lesson delivery from campus managers.
Add campus-specific details about Culture Camp. Select 2 out of 4 procedures to teach and practice: 1) Homeroom 2) In-class Transitions 3) Passing in Papers 4) Exiting Class Customize materials (if desired) Bring copies for participants Add campus-specific details about lesson plan submission. Ensure handouts contain the lesson plan template(s) and internalization process your new teachers will use – delete other templates that you will not use. Customize materials (if desired) Bring copies for participants
No preparation is required; a protocol and feedback cheat sheet will be provided.

Mindsets of Lesson Planning (26 min)
15 min
2 min
9 min
Model: Example of each mindset in action (examples included in presenter notes, and next page)
Key Ideas:
Practice: Explain effective lesson planning mindsets and their impact on student learning, by responding to hypothetical teachers who don’t yet demonstrate these mindsets.
Name It
Do It
Introduce yourself, and share an anecdote that illustrates the importance of effective lesson planning mindsets. Share session objectives and GET connection.
Frame: What mindset does this teacher demonstrate? How will this impact student learning?
Planning is Objective-Driven: We focus on how students will master the objective; we don’t just plan activities to fill time.
Planning is a Thinking Process: We unpack what students will learn and how they will learn it; templates and processes guide our thinking.
Planning is a Learnable Skill: We all get better with practice and feedback.
Bottom line: Planning is the thinking process that leads to rigorous instruction.
CampusSpecific Expectations (18 min)
8 min
2 min
8 min
Model: Campus lesson template & internalization process, & timeline for submission & feedback
Key Ideas: Our campus lesson planning expectations and timelines… Guide us to plan and internalize what students will learn and how they will learn it. Allow us to improve our planning so we can deliver strong lessons to students.
Practice: Explain the expectations and timeline for planning at our school, and explain how this will impact your instruction.
Frame: How will using this template / internalization process impact your teaching? How will the timeline set you up for success?
Closing (2 min)
6 min – Pair share (3 min each) 2 min – Whole group share

[email protected].

7. Select the block you want to register a participant for by clicking the arrow on the right. (Do NOT click the checkbox on the left.) Note: If a participant needs to attend multiple blocks of NTI, you will need to repeat the entire registration process to register them for an additional block. (Ex: If a participant needs to attend Goals & Culture, Lesson Planning, and Content-Specific, you will need to register them 3 times – once for each block of sessions they will attend.) To confirm which of the 3 blocks a person needs to attend, refer to the Attendance Guidelines (p. 7).

Once you find the right session, click the checkbox next to the session. Then, click ‘Select’ at the bottom. Read Session ID’s to find the right session.

Communication with New Hires Campus managers should communicate expectations for New Teacher Institute attendance to new hires, and confirm that they are registered for the correct trainings in Cornerstone. Admin assistants are responsible for registering new hires for the correct NTI sessions via the Intent to Hire form, and checking the Cornerstone registration report to confirm that all staff members are registered for the correct trainings.
Stipends Teachers will receive $60 per day of required training that falls outside their contract days. They will receive this on their August paycheck. Co-teachers will be paid their hourly rate for the time spent in training. They should clock in with the pay code “PD-Not Otherwise Classified,” and will receive stipends aligned with their current pay schedule.
