The ASPIRE to Teach experience
ASPIRE to Teach offers an online program experience with an assigned ASPIRE Lead Instructor (ALI) who is a veteran educator and provides guidance, direction, and feedback in each course. During Fall and Spring terms, ASPIRE candidates also participate in with Professional Learning Community (PLC) Saturday Sessions (8:30am-1:30pm) that occur twice each term (2 PLCs in Fall, 2 PLCs in Spring). During the Summer terms, there are no PLC Saturday Sessions (alternate assignments replace the PLC content).
ASPIRE to Teach focuses on Universal Design for Learning, High-Leverage Practices, and Relationship-Driven Instruction. ASPIRE Lead Instructors (ALIs) support candidates in meeting the New Jersey Professional Standards for Teachers through online learning experiences, video coaching, PLC meetings, and personalized support.
