Lisa S. Goldstein, Professor of Education and Director of Teacher Education Programs, was invited to join the Palo Alto Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) Consortium as a representative of Santa Clara University. The Palo Alto BTSA Consortium also includes representatives from Palo Alto Unified School District, Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District, Los Gatos Saratoga Joint Union High School District, and Stanford University.
BTSA is the professional induction program for beginning teachers authorized by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. Teachers who hold a preliminary teaching credential when they are hired by a California public school district must complete a two-year district-based program of mentoring, support, and ongoing professional development to earn a clear teaching credential.
BTSA programs are expected to establish partnerships with local institutions of higher education to ensure continuity and a smooth transition for novice teachers as they leave their credential program and enter the profession. Likewise, teacher educators must partner with BTSA programs to be sure their credential candidates’ preparation is meeting the needs of the districts that hire them. Lisa’s first initiative with the Palo Alto BTSA consortium was to develop a BTSA Transition Guide that allows faculty from the Santa Clara University teaching credential program to share specific information about each novice teacher’s professional strengths and areas for development with the BTSA coordinators in the school districts that hire them.

Institute for Teachers of Color
Committed to Racial Justice
Santa Clara University &
San Jose State University
June 20-22, 2011
Santa Clara University and San José State University are hosting a three day Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice to support the development, success and retention of Teachers of Color struggling to achieve racial justice in schools. The Institute will be June 20- 22, 2011, at Santa Clara University. It is intended as a space for Teachers of Color to explore the racial climate of their schools, receive training to navigate these realities, and strategize how to create racially transformative classrooms. It is also meant to be a community building space between Teachers of Color.
The cost for attending the Institute is $90, which includes breakfast, lunch and materials for all three days (Limited partial scholarships are available upon request). Applications should be submitted by May 9, 2011 and we will notify applicants by mid May. We are looking for Teachers of Color who:
• Are committed to racial justice.
• Work at schools serving a significant population of students of color.
• Want to build community with like-minded teachers.
• Have specific needs that can be met by the Institute.
We are also hoping to achieve racial and gender balance among participants to represent the diversity of Teachers of Color. Confirmed Keynotes: Jose Gonzales and Norma Gonzales: Tucson Unified School District Raza Studies teachers. They will share their experiences and insights teaching Ethnic Studies in the face of attacks against the program. Nickie Johnson-Ahorlu: Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute. She will offer a framework to understand, navigate and challenge the racial climates of schools. Program Coordinators: Rita Kohli; Liberal Studies, Santa Clara University; Rebeca Burciaga; Educational Leadership, San Jose State University; Marcos Pizarro, Mexican American Studies, San Jose State University. Please submit any inquiries and the application as a pdf or Word document to: criteachers@gmail.com. More details available on facebook at: www.facebook.com/teachersofcolor.
