Supporting Beginning Teachers Workshop

Dr Robert J. Marzano is one of the most widely cited researchers in education, with decades of work translating educational research into practical strategies that schools can implement to improve student achievement. Marzano Resources, his professional development arm, partners with schools and districts to deliver high-quality staff development grounded in evidence-based instructional frameworks, including The New Art and Science of Teaching and the Marzano Compendium of Instructional Strategies. The Supporting Beginning Teachers Workshop is a two-day, interactive, retreat-style professional development experience designed specifically for school leaders, coaches, and mentors who work with early-career educators. Effectively supporting beginning teachers is crucial not only for retention but for building the instructional expertise that directly impacts student learning. Participants will explore specific, research-backed strategies for providing emotional, physical, and instructional support to beginning teachers—moving beyond generic mentoring to targeted, evidence-informed practices that accelerate professional growth. Attendees leave with practical tools, actionable insights, and a wealth of resources they can apply immediately in their mentoring and coaching roles. For schools investing in growing their next generation of effective teachers, this workshop provides the framework and skills to make that investment count.
