Supports for All New Teachers
Are you a new teacher looking for a way to build connections, community, and collaboration with other local educators? Consider attending the New Teacher Network (NTN). NTN is open to all local teachers and designated teachers in their first through fifth years of teaching. Each month, we will explore a topic and offer practical strategies to help new teachers feel confident and make connections with other new educators who have similar experiences. We continue to offer support to New Teachers throughout the year, free of charge.
Please join us for the sessions that fit your schedule. We are excited to continue supporting our new teachers as they make meaningful contributions to their students, schools, and our community. Join us for connection and collaboration.
