4. Summary of Teaching Practice
At the end of the school year, the teacher and support provider reflect on the year’s activities, plan for the upcoming year and focus on continued growth. (BTSA is a two-year program that culminates in the recommendation for a clear credential.)

Growing as professionals, feeling greater confidence as teachers, and meeting the learning needs of all students are the main goals for beginning teachers participating in the FACT system. Participating teachers will employ an ongoing learning process that follows a cycle of plan, teach, reflect and apply through each of the modules. The FACT system is designed to support demonstration and application of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and the Pedagogy and Universal Access Induction Standards.
