Cathy D. Hicks is currently the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) Induction Coordinator for the San Dieguito Union High School District in Southern California. She oversees an induction program supporting beginning teachers. She serves on the executive board of the California Association of School Health Educators (CASHE) and is an adjunct faculty of California State University San Marcos. She is the co-author of four books: "What Successful Teachers Do: 91 Research Based Strategies for New and Veteran Teachers" (Corwin Press, 2003), "What Successful Mentors Do" (Corwin Press, 2005), "What Successful Teachers Do in Inclusive Classrooms" (Corwin Press, 2005), and "What Successful Teachers Do in Diverse Classrooms" (Corwin Press, 2006). She is a frequent presenter on educational topics at both the state and national level. She taught physical education and health at both the middle and high school level for over 25 years. During that time she was involved in the California State Mentor Teacher Program and mentored new teachers in her district for more than 17 years. Her energy, enthusiasm, and passion for teaching and supporting new teachers reinforce the career path she chose in elementary school. She believes the most effective teachers are the ones who never settle for "good enough," but continue to grow, stretch, reflect, create, collaborate, and take risks throughout their teaching careers.
