Rutgers Alternate Route strives to offer new teachers the best resources and necessary advice from seasoned educators.

During our fall meeting for Diverse Teachers For Diverse Schools (DTDS), we asked novice teachers to share any questions they had. In turn, we posed the questions to our professional learning community to weigh in.

Alternate Route teacher candidates at Rutgers-GSE took part in a social media chat addressing the use of technology tools for teaching and learning. The program wide chat complements the instruction candidates receive at their individual sites and demonstrates the professional use of social media, making collaboration with colleagues easier, and expanding the geography of their professional learning network. Teachers are able to quickly share resources, collect ideas for classroom challenges, and connect easily with others who can support their goals as educators.

For educators that want to sharpen their already-impressive skills, there are plenty of virtual and in-person conferences happening during the winter. We’ve helped make the search easier by curating a list of 31 events specifically for our educators. The best part? More than half of these events are free, making it easy to incorporate professional development into winter schedules.
