:: School of Education develops site for new teachers called GRAD HAT- GRADuate Help and Assistance for Teachers.
Holy Family University faculty has developed a website called GRAD HAT. This website is designed as an outreach program to serve new graduates and teachers who have completed their initial teacher certification requirements. During your first years as a teacher, challenges will arise which often involve planning for instruction, managing the classroom, motivating students, dealing with individual differences, assessing student work, and working with parents. Navigating the path to continued professional development and additional credentials also presents a challenge. We have assembled information on GRAD HAT as a starting place for you to find answers and to obtain assistance. This site can be accessed through the School of Education website under GRAD HAT - Graduate Help and Assistance for Teachers.
