MSTA’s Virtual New Teacher Summit Are you a new teacher looking for FREE professional development specific to new teachers’ needs? Register today for MSTA’s first Virtual New Teacher Summit. This is a synchronous learning opportunity designed specifically for new teachers. The Summit is your opportunity to connect with other Missouri teachers while learning about topics of interest to you. Join us Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023, from 5 – 8 p.m. for three 50-minute sessions over a variety of topics such as student engagement, classroom management, instructional design and time-management. Presentations will be recorded and made available to participants attending the event live. Online Learning Opportunities for Educators MSTA is pleased to announce our new learning management system. We recognize how busy Missouri educators are. With the addition of this new resource, you can take a course at a location and time that fits your schedule. Our online courses are available for educators at every stage of their career. For new teachers, we offer the online Beginning Teacher Assistance course. This course, along with ongoing learning opportunities, can help new teachers meet DESE’s certification requirements. We also offer courses appropriate for all educators on engagement strategies, establishing a positive learning environment, reading strategies for all content areas and dyslexia. We will build our library throughout the year, so be sure to keep an eye on your email or check the MSTA website for updates on new courses. Chrome Extension Popsicle Sticks is a Chrome Extension that serves as a random name generator that has the ability to store multiple classes. Check out MSTA's new podcast, MSTA Presents!
