Interning Teacher Maintenance Guidelines

As stated in the Interning Teacher Maintenance Guidelines, Interning teachers are invited and requested to participate in monthly IT Supervision Groups with a full teacher of Trillium Awakening, where the focus will be on discussing topics relevant to their work with students. Participation does not have to be for the entire length of time that one is an IT, but at least six months is recommended. Cost for this supervision group will be $25/month. We recommend that this training be taken towards the beginning of the IT period, if available.

Since 2007, IT supervision groups have been based on the book "The Ethics of Caring" by Kylea Taylor. There are 15 chapters in the book; two to three chapters are read each month in advance of each of the six monthly meetings. During the meetings, interning teachers are invited to bring situations from their individual and group teaching in reference to the material being discussed in the book.

Full teachers wanting to lead the IT Supervision Group will confer with Mentor & Teacher Transitions role holder in order to coordinate the timing of the offering.
