The Sacramento BTSA Consortium is a collaborative involving the
Sacramento County Office of Education, sixteen local school districts,
and the California State University, Sacramento. The Consortium brings
professional educators together for the purpose of looking at the
art and science of teaching.
Our targeted stakeholder is the new teacher to the profession and/or
the new teacher to the State of California. We provide a two year
induction program that offers the following benefits and incentives:
money, supplies and materials, personal coaching from a skilled veteran,
formative assessment feedback based on neutral evidence collected
over time, professional growth opportunities, and CSUS graduate level
credit. Those who provide the most support to the emerging professional
teacher are our trained, highly skilled support providers and site
administrators.
We are proud of the professional educators that participate in
and contribute to our program.
