Phoenix Elementary District launches BUILD program to support first-year teachers
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Deborah Gonzales announced a new BUILD program to support first-year and newly hired teachers over a three-year pathway aimed at preparing participants for National Board certification.
Dr. Deborah Gonzales, superintendent for Phoenix Elementary District (4256), announced a new BUILD program aimed at strengthening early-career teachers. "This is an investment in 1st year teachers and teachers new to our district who are working on learning their craft so that by the time they've been with us 3 years, they're ready for national board certification," Gonzales said.
Gonzales described BUILD as a multi-year development pathway focused on classroom practice and professional growth. She framed the program as part of the district's broader effort to "ensure we have the very best teachers in every classroom," and said the three-year timeline is intended to culminate in readiness for National Board certification. Gonzales did not provide specific budget figures, staff assignments, or a start date in the remarks.
