Exciting New Opportunity!


New Teacher Support Group

Multiple choice. Check all that apply. The first few years of teaching can be _ exciting _frustrating _lonely _overwhelming _all of the above. That’s why KSLA Delaware Valley and Brandywine Valley Forge are piloting a free new teacher support group that will meet virtually each month. To guide the group, we will be using the recently published New Teacher Mindset by Trevor Muir and John Spencer as a guide.  If you know any new teachers who could use some support, have them email: [email protected] for more information.
