The CCTE New Faculty Support Program offers reduced CCTE membership and conference registration fees for any teacher education faculty at CCTE member institutions who are in their first five years of faculty service with the understanding that the program participants will submit a research proposal for one of our conferences. It is a two-year program and each participant is also assigned a mentor from among the CCTE leadership. The program is coordinated by CCTE Board member Ernest Black of CalStateTEACH.
