This is a site-based PD for Ft. Zumwalt School District staff only.  
 
Beginning teachers are one of our greatest assets. Yet, 17% of teachers leave the career within the first five years. Research shows effective professional development is a key factor in teacher retention, and as teachers enter the career, a collaborative community of learners can help teachers transition from their role as a student to that of teacher.
 
This program is part of the Missouri Teacher Development System.
 
MTDS Beginning Teacher Assistance Program Year 1 (BTAP1) meets the first year of Missouri's BTAP certification requirements.
 
This opportunity provides:
  • consultant support
  • networking with other new teachers and educational consultants
  • just-in-time learning (critical firsts)
  • awareness of the phases of a new teacher
  • relationship-building skills
 
Attendance is required at all three sessions:
Session 1:  Friday, October 17, 2025
Session 2:  Monday, January 5, 2026 
Session 3:  Friday, March 20, 2026 

Diane Gillaspie serves EdPlus member districts by providing professional development to teachers in the beginning stages of their career to those who are seeking mastery. Diane has spent over 20 years in education, serving as a kindergarten and first grade teacher, instructional coach, director of curriculum and instruction and provided contracted professional development. She believes that our schools deserve teachers who have a high level of self-efficacy, love what they do and believe in their students.

Students today need a culturally sound classroom that understands and respects who they are as individuals and provides an engaging environment that is conducive to their personal learning style. Teachers need continuous support to grow their pedagogy and Diane seeks to be a part of their journey. At the end of the day, every bit of work she is passionate about is for the empowerment and benefit of our students.
