Teacher Consultants--A Model for Using Experienced Teachers as Trainers of New Teachers.
Patton, Judy; Eisel, Allan D.
The Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools system, a large suburban school district, is in the process of developing a comprehensive teacher induction program for its new teachers. Training for new teachers takes place in the summer and after school, with teachers receiving a stipend for each 6-hour module completed. Feedback from teachers receiving this training has indicated that experienced teachers acting as consultants can help meet the needs of beginning teachers. The teacher consultants are selected by supervisors of instruction and then trained to work with three to five new teachers. Consultants and their trainees conduct several meetings together, where training objectives and needs are established. Tested at the elementary education level so far, the program appears to be successful. (CB)
