  1. Diverse Learners
  2. Effective Instructional Strategies
  3. Classroom Assessment and Data Analysis
  4. Special Education, Gifted and Title I - Meeting Special Needs
  5. Motivating Students
  6. Using Technology for Teaching and Learning
  7. How the Brain Learns
  8. Classroom Management
  9. Instructional Planning
  10. Teacher Support: The Profession

LEARNING BRIDGES® courses on each of these basics provide an opportunity for ALTERNATIVE LICENSURE AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS. (Courses available in the Professional Development System)

The following reports are available from the New Teacher Assessment System:

  • Confidential Teacher Report
  • School Composite Report

Confidential Teacher Report

The Confidential Individual Teacher Report is displayed on the screen for the teacher’s review when the test is submitted for scoring. For each basic skill selected, the report will record the teacher’s proficiency level into one of four categories. The categories are Expert, Proficient, Basic and Novice. The report can be printed if desired.

School Composite Report

The School Composite Report allows the principal to view a composite of the scores and print a report showing the percentage of teachers in each category – Expert, Proficient, Basic or Novice – for each basic skill pre-assessed. This provides data for decision-making on where support is needed for new teachers to increase teacher retention, teacher induction, and alternative licensure. Courses are available in the Online Professional Development System ESPECIALLY designed for new teachers on the basic skills of teaching. Administrators may utilize the NEW Teacher Basic Skills Assessment and Report to monitor proficiency on those basics, over time, by using it as a pre- and post-test option.
