NOC Sparks – Hayden

Sparks trainings are designed to assist early-career teachers (five years or less experience) in building a solid base for a long career as professional educators. Participants are surveyed ahead of time about the issues and topics that are important to them, and veteran educators facilitate the discussions. SPARKS retreats feature plenty of fun and fellowship as well as strategies for career advancement and personal growth.

 

Spending a weekend learning about classroom management, technology, stress management, the Idaho Code of Ethics for educators, teacher contracts, and the Idaho Education Association is what SPARKS is all about—as well as building lifelong friendships with other education professionals. Layne McInelly, IEA Vice President
