I Got a Job Offer!! What Do I Ask About Now??!! Part 4

Once you have that offer, don't forget to ask about professional development opportunities that are available to you as a new teacher and for future years!

Some school districts provide opportunities for teachers to attend workshops within the district as well as conferences locally or at the state level.

Within the district, there may be book clubs, coaching sessions on a various topic, internet presentations on a topic, as well as required professional development sessions for teachers to attend.

Teachers may be sent to conferences on specific topics that the district/school is focusing on. Sometimes multiple teachers at a specific grade level will attend, or teachers from various grade levels will attend.

Tuition reimbursement programs for continuing education are offered by some districts. Ask about the plan that your district/school has available to teachers.
