This four-part professional learning series is designed to support teachers in their first three years in the classroom as they build confidence, refine their practice, and establish strong instructional foundations. Each session will focus on a critical component of effective teaching: lesson planning, classroom management, communication, and assessment.

Participants will engage in practical, relevant learning experiences that can be immediately applied in the classroom. The series is structured to foster collaboration and connection, creating a supportive community of practice where new teachers can learn alongside peers. Mentors are welcome to attend and participate, though their attendance is not required.

Each session will also include an optional extended afternoon work time, providing participants the opportunity to collaborate with mentors or colleagues to plan lessons, develop assessments, analyze student data, and design differentiated instructional strategies tailored to their students’ needs.
