CMEA Bay Section provides some resources and opportunities specifically designed to support our newest teachers in the profession, with special support for those teaching in Title I schools.
Mentorship Program
Our mentorship program connects early-career teachers with experienced colleagues for one-on-one guidance, encouragement, and practical support. This is an informal program especially helpful to first year teachers or teachers new to the Bay Area. Learn more here.
Large Ensemble Festivals
Title 1 Schools bringing more than one group can register one ensemble at no cost, expanding access and participation for these schools. If you know a colleague or school to share this with, please spread the word!
Fall Conference Registration
Educators attending the Fall Conference for the first time are eligible for a significantly reduced registration rate, making this professional development experience more accessible. Additionally there is a reduced rate for Teachers in Title 1 schools.
Conference Honor Groups
Students selected for our Conference Honor Groups also benefit from a discounted participation fee, ensuring more students can take part in this high-level performance opportunity.
