"Thank you for all your support this year... I really enjoyed growing as a first-year teacher with this program, knowing I wasn’t alone and that some of my experiences or worries were also what other teachers were feeling too. Thank you for keeping this program going, and I think it’s a fantastic tool to really support new teachers."

“I enjoyed learning that first-year teachers have the same fears and excitement. It was also great to have different genders, grade levels, ethnicities, and ages sharing their thoughts and views in the same room. We all went into teaching to help others (students) succeed.”

As a result of engaging in NTA’s professional learning sessions and activities, I will… “Work on creating a strong communication system with parents, building relationships with students and families, recognizing biases within myself, and identify and recognize how that affects my teaching.”
