Helping New Teachers Thrive in the Classroom

EQUIP for New Teachers is a 12-month program that includes a year of access to the course itself and the Teaching Channel Video Library. It is focused on supporting new teachers through common challenges as they move from preparation into professional practice. Our long-term goal is to set new teachers up for success early in the profession in a way that will last a lifetime. We welcome new(er) teachers with zero to five years of professional experience. Participants will discover best practices through monthly asynchronous modules packed with resources, peer interaction, and subject-specific coursework with facilitator feedback on each submitted assignment. Participants will have access to on-demand webinars featuring their seasoned facilitator and a guest mentor or speaker with new teacher solutions to common challenges. The EQUIP Program Facilitator serves as a resource to address any questions you have throughout your enrollment.

Anyone can join EQUIP! However, we designed this course specifically for educators with 0-5 years of classroom experience.

EQUIP can be purchased by an individual new teacher here. If you are considering a group purchase, complete the form on this page so that our team can help get your new teachers started.

This offering allows the participant and/or district to determine time commitment and level of engagement for the new teacher. Participants can access the content at two different levels depending on their needs and requirements:

Purple Level: Access Resources, Tools, Information, Microlearning Modules, and Support as you need them.

To access the content at this level, choose what you learn about, how, and when! This level does not have required assignments; instead, it is meant to provide proactive and just-in-time learning and resources to help you succeed.

Orange Level: Apply New Learning and Grow from Feedback!

To access the content at this level, complete the activities outlined in the Purple Level AND complete and submit all required assignments for feedback. If you successfully complete all required assignments, you will be awarded a Letter of Completion documenting 45 hours of professional learning.

Required assignments include:

• 1 Application Activity per Module – 10 Total Assignments
• 1 End-of-course Reflection

Participants who complete the course at the Orange Level can upgrade to graduate level, continuing education credit for an additional cost.

Enrollment is ongoing, so a new teacher can start whenever they are ready. The program topics and monthly sessions are built around the typical school year calendar allowing any new teacher to enter the program at any time and sync up with other participants working on relevant content based on the time of year and stage of the teaching career.

This program has a $475 value, but we’ve priced the program at $189 to ensure new teachers can access it.  District, building, or large group pricing is available.
