Online Teacher Toolbox Initiative

The Online Teacher Toolbox is an online resource, and professional development course that mentors teachers during their first year at Lindale Middle School. The purpose of the program is to help teachers who are new to the school become acclimated to the school’s culture.

The purpose of the Online Teacher Toolbox is to achieve the following objectives for instructors to:


 * Convey the procedures, mission, vision, and culture of AACPS and the school community.
 * Model, coach, and plan for effective classroom management and discipline.
 * Help to provide the necessary resources both human and material.
 * Promote understanding of the relationships among student achievement, instruction, behavior, and partnerships with parents.
 * Provide training and modeling to effectively work with and engage diverse parents/guardians with varied communication styles, levels of skill, and experience to support their child’s educational experience.
