- Thursday is also for the Pre-I Group
Participants will enjoy interactive sessions with the Lead Instructors from each year focusing on:
- Reconnecting with professional education topics and with peers
- Reflecting on how previous skills have been successful or not
- Reconsidering practices from both the Professional Educators and peer attendees
- Reinvigoration for success on the next school year – no matter the challenges.
Please note that instructors will attend for the year they last completed; if you were in First Year in 2019 (or an earlier year), you should register for First Year in the vNTI 2020. If you are a new instructor or new to NTI, there will be a Pre-I Group session on Thursday. The Pre-I Group will meet with several Professional Educators who will offer them a tour of what NTI offers as well as providing insights into upcoming changes in the way apprenticeship training will be conducted.
All I Group participants will have the option to register to attend Technical sessions on the other days.
Yep…There’s More! Because you attend you will also receive…
Some time-slots for each day have multiple sessions running concurrently. To avoid concern of picking one thing and missing out on another. All sessions will be recorded and reposted to the days event packaged course. This means those who register will have access to everything presented that day.
