Beginning Teacher Assistance Program

Register Now

Teacher certification in Missouri requires participation in a Beginning Teacher Assistance Program. MNEA and Maryville University have teamed up to offer a meaningful and convenient way for beginning teachers to receive a certificate verifying completion of this requirement. Attendees will also become a part of the Missouri NEA Beginning Teacher Network.

The beginning teacher assistance program focuses on "I CAN DO IT," a classroom management program. Other topics include creating a professional teaching and learning plan and maneuvering the certification maze. Activities in this workshop focus on how to:

• have a smoothly flowing classroom,
• use effective rules/routines/re-enforcements,
• deal with difficult behavior,
• use transitions and sponges ,
• build a classroom community, and
• improve home/school communication.

Attending this program fulfills the initial certificate and PC-I requirement for "participating in a beginning-teacher assistance program sponsored by a college or university."

There is a non-refundable registration fee of $35 (MNEA members) or $50 (non-members) to cover the cost of the luncheon and materials.
