The NESC partners with ND RISE through the Beginning Teacher Network grant program to support first-year teachers across North Dakota’s northeast region. Each year, the NESC offers a workshop series for first-, second-, and third-year teachers, providing sustained, job-embedded support through cycles of learning, guided practice, reflection, and refinement of instructional practices.
The series focuses on key areas commonly identified as needs among beginning teachers – student engagement and classroom management. Facilitated in a collaborative format, the workshops create a space for educators to share challenges and successes while receiving guidance from experienced mentors and facilitators. This series complements the ND RISE Mentoring Program and serves approximately 20 teachers annually.
