New Teacher Academy
The Macomb New Teacher Academy (NTA) has been created to
provide quality professional development experiences that will
enhance your professional growth. At the same time, it can help
you meet the state requirements that you receive 15 days of
professional development in your first three years of teaching.
While the design of the New Teacher Academy is based on
National, State, and Local research, the topics of the sessions
offered each year are selected based on the feedback of
participants.
