CTU Speaks!

On this episode of CTU Speaks!, co-hosts Andrea Parker and Jim Staros bring a crew into the studio from the We Care New Teachers/Clinicians Coaching and Mentoring Program, which is a union-led, CTU initiative in partnership with CPS. We Care provides mentoring and support to educators in their first three years to help them navigate the various challenges that come with starting out in a new profession. Virtual instructional coach Tiffany Watkins and her mentees Lynne Taylor and Duwuana Buice are joined by Tara Stamps, who sometimes co-hosts this podcast but in this case is also a guest, since she’s the CTU staffer who oversees the We Care program. We Care’s aim is to help educators improve their practice while also helping them steer clear of the burnout that drags down too many of us. Check out this episode to find out more about what the CTU is doing to help train and retain a new generation of teachers.
