Please do add your picture, as it will be an important connector for you as you begin to see colleagues you already know and begin to make new connections!
Be sure to visit Groups, and join some that relate to your area of interest. Reply to a conversation or start a new one. You can even suggest a new Group, if you want, but before approving it, we want to be sure it fits our mission of the induction of new teachers and administrators. We also want to be sure we can provide some facilitation support so conversations are relevant to our mission.
Find out who is a member, and invite others to join, selecting Community Members and searching by last name or by any keyword. If anyone used the same terms as you, they will show up in your search. Find those with common interests, professional pursuits, or geographic location. You may be surprised that others close by are facing the same issues as you are and may lead to localized interactions!
Please make suggestions using the feedback button on the right. Recommend a feature you would like to see or let us know what does not work. Can you find your way around easily or is the site not intuitive? Your input will give us a better and more relevant site.
We appreciate your attention to sharing and supporting those devoted to inducting new K-12 teachers and administrators into the profession. NTC welcomes and supports your work to improve student learning through the effective mentoring of those new to the educational profession.
