Teach with Passion & Confidence
We've got you covered
We all know firsthand how challenging the past few years have been on teachers - especially those who are new to the profession. Now more than ever, the need for creative, well-trained and inspiring teachers is essential to the success of our students. This is especially critical for our new teachers, and NOW is the time to help them succeed in the Post-Pandemic world.
As new teachers begin their careers, they are walking into an education system that is far different than when they entered their (pre-pandemic) credential programs, and the New Teacher Summit is an entire day devoted to helping novice K-12 teachers gain ideas and strategies that can be immediately implemented, to get themselves and their students on the path to immediate success.
Let’s help our new teachers in putting the pieces together and help them, our students, and our profession thrive for many years to come.
Every session is designed to give you fresh ideas and real strategies that you can use immediately (and for the rest of your career) to be a highly effective teacher who teaches with passion and confidence.
Hosted by passionate educators who are on a mission to help you and your students succeed.
