Welcome! This community offers practical resources, mentorship, coaching, and collaboration for new teachers. Whether you're a preservice teacher in coursework and practicum or a first‑year teacher learning as you go, I'm excited to connect and support your teaching journey. 👩🏫🍎✏️
Did you know that more than half of the teachers entering the field of education will leave the profession in the first five years? Research has shown that mentoring and support systems for new teachers are imperative to their success, confidence, and longevity in the classroom. Mentoring and coaching new teachers is my passion -- and my profession! 💙
So whether you’re just beginning your preservice program or in the middle of the excitement (and challenges) of your first year, you belong here. If you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, alone, or unsure of your next steps, this community is a place for clarity, connection, and encouragement. I’m here to support you as you navigate your teaching path. 🫶
