Analyzing Student Work  to Guide Instruction Background The New Teacher Center-Wisconsin (NTP-WI) and the Dane County New Teacher Project (DCNTP) offer this unique opportunity to train those who work with those newest to the teaching profession. The NTP-WI is affiliated with The New Teacher Center at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The NTP-WI, in learning from the Santa Cruz model, has adapted much of the California training and revised it so that it strongly reflects the Wisconsin Teacher Standards and supports districts as they meet the requirements of PI34. Content Mentors, according to PI34, are to have input into the formative assessment of initial educators. In this two-day training, mentors learn how to work with initial educators as they examine student work and gather data. As a result of studying this information, new teachers learn to change their instruction through enhanced differentiation and keener lesson design.

Others who may benefit from this training, depending on local context, are teacher leaders, principals, C&I directors, and mentor coordinators who have had previous foundational coaching training and experience.
