Early career educators 

The Beta Pi Chapter mentored Early Career Educators 2019-2020. At the October meeting members contributed school supplies, sweets and gifts to bring happiness to these teachers. March 2020 Jim Wells County, Duval County, Nueces County were "shut down" due to Covid-19. All schools were closed and teachers were teaching remotely from their homes. Ask any teacher and parent and we all agree that teaching remotely was not the easiest teaching to learn. Parents became the teacher at home while the classroom teacher was learning as fast as they could to teach virtually. Due to the closures Beta Pi lost contact with Early Career Educators. The end of year social had to be cancelled and the Mini-grants were finally delivered when teachers returned to their campus in October. Hopefully it was a welcomed surprise.

The Early Career Educator (Mentee) program will pause for 2020-2021 until it is Covid safe to continue.
