Welcome
The Selma Unified BTSA Induction Consortium is a five district consortium with Selma Unified School District serving as the lead Local Educational Agency (LEA). The BTSA Coordinator works with district administrative designees from Clay Joint Elementary, Kerman Unifed, Kingsburg Elementary Charter, and Riverdale Unified to provide beginning teachers with the professional development and support they need in their first years of teaching.
The Selma Unified BTSA Induction Consortium program provides specific professional development and individual guidance to beginning teachers. Beginning teachers work in collaboration with a trained Support Provider to receive a formative, performance-based, teacher assessment and support system. The system allows Participating Teachers to practice and reflect on effective instructional practices.
Our Goals:
-
To develop teachers who regularly reflect on their instructional practice and their progress towards professional development goals.
-
To guide teachers in using reflection to make changes in their instructional practices leading to increased student achievement.
-
To provide new teachers with quality mentoring and support in their first years of teaching.
-
To recommend successful eligible teachers for a CA Clear credential.
“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.”
