Showcasing Events of the Union College Education Program

Each Fall and Spring the Education faculty sets up a conference call for the New Teachers who are in their first year of teaching.

This conference call allows the new teachers to talk to the UC Education Faculty and each other, ask questions, tell about their experiences and find out where everyone else is teaching.

The new teachers who have called during previous conference calls, report that it is a very uplifting experience and they appreciate the opportunity to chat with each other.

The Spring 2007 conference call was scheduled for April 22, 2007 at 1:00 CDT. This allowed everyone from California at 11:00 PDT to Denver at 12:00 – to New York at 2:00 ADT to call in during the middle of the day and still have the afternoon to do their Sunday activities. Postcards, email and phone calls were sent to notify the New Teachers of 2007 what phone number to call.

This is part of the New Teacher Induction Plan that Union College does for their Education graduates.
