To provide support to our recent teaching graduates and to help teachers refine their skills and/or problem-solve issues they are having in their classrooms, Lesley University faculty members offer professional consultation. The consultation and any discussion is strictly confidential.
GUIDELINES FOR WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT
- The NTC consultant and the classroom teacher mutually decide on the best format for the consultation: in the teacher's classroom, online, or by telephone.
- If an on-site (classroom) consultation is chosen, the teacher must obtain prior written approval from the school administrator to host a visit.
- Prior to the visit, a discussion should take place between the consultant and teacher to focus the observation.
- After the observation, an hour is allowed for discussion.
- The consultant checks back within the month of the observation to see how things are going and if there are any more questions. If a second visit is desired, this may be requested and arranged.
If you are interested in having a member of our faculty consult with you, please email Nancy Roberts to explain what kind of expertise you need, and we will make an appropriate match.
