Welcoming Our New Teachers

The Greenwood community is always growing, and that is reflected in additions to our teaching staff. This year, we welcomed 9 new teachers and 4 apprentice teachers, including a Greenwood alumna! Callie Bowman (‘09) has returned to Greenwood as an apprentice teacher, working alongside some of the teachers she remembers from her own days as a student.

To make sure all our new teachers get off to a great start, they are all participating in a mentorship program. They are working with experienced Greenwood teachers to build on what they know, learning best practices based on the most current research. Big areas of discussion include co-teaching and strategies for personalizing learning. The mentorship program is a chance for them to develop professionally, and to learn more about their new Greenwood community. Teachers who are returning after an absence and part-time staff are also taking part in the mentorship program, getting acquainted with new teaching and learning developments at Greenwood.

New and returning teachers take what they learn through the mentorship program directly into the classroom, creating an improved learning experience for our students.

To all our new teachers and apprentice teachers, welcome to Greenwood!
