Did you know half of new teachers will quit by year five?

It’s because they are drowning. New teachers, do you feel…

  • Anxious to start each school day?

  • Overwhelmed by classroom chaos?

  • Exhausted by back and forth battles with kids?

  • Stressed about a grade book full of missing assignments?

  • Isolated because you don’t have the support you need?

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Why register for the New Teacher Summit?

 

Because You Should Love Teaching and Your Life

To make that happen, you need a community of experienced educators to lean on that will pull back the curtain, clear the noise, and help you laugh...so that you don’t crumble.

The New Teacher Summit provides the support you need, on YOUR terms, to be the best damn teacher you can and want to be. It’s also about being real and taking care of yourself because without that — you’re bound to lose sight of why you’re a teacher in the first place. Let’s prevent that.

You deserve this summit.

Our community of educators will share their wisdom, their biggest mistakes and practical resources to help new teachers, like you! The entire summit is built around our three core principles: culture, climate, and instruction

Teachers need support (and some good belly laughs). Join us. You won’t regret it.

See What Other Educators Are Saying…

  • Grace Hauck

    SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER

    I was nervous to work with someone who doesn't have the same background but my nerves quickly dissolved with [New Teacher Collective’s] expertise in planning for ANY class… I leave ready with a plan for my coming week of what I will teach after thought-partnering around topics and lesson parts.

  • Karen Ikegami

    PRINCIPAL

    We recommend [New Teacher Collective] anytime we hear that a school or teacher is in need of coaching support. Without them, I fear our teachers would have not had the tools to try new things or worse yet, we would have had teachers leave the classroom.

  • Robert Brewer

    MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER

    [New Teacher Collective] completely transformed my first year in the classroom! I was able to grow significantly in my teaching practice, from my early struggles with behavior and classroom management to designing and implementing student-centered and project-based learning by the end of the school year.

  • Chris Bakke

    HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEACHER

    It was always refreshing to be in a professional development workshop led by [New Teacher Collective] because I knew it would be well organized with a host of protocols that helped generate discussion among staff and broke down the thinking into smaller steps… [They] are a great partner for brainstorming and getting creative.

  • Jennifer Jackson

    PRINCIPAL

    As a principal, it was refreshing to work with a trainer who took the time to understand the strengths and history of the school and build off of that. Having been a master teacher, Sara Jean was able to help the staff balance the stress of new information with the urgency of change. Our staff embraced the work, and our school showed dramatic improvement.

  • Andrea Vondracek

    MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER

    [New Teacher Collective] spent so much time giving me suggestions on lessons and talking about how to manage behavior; and then later how to increase rigor and engagement in my classes… Now, thanks in large part to [their] early coaching, I have been rated as a distinguished teacher for three years in a row!

  • Sara Jean Banks

    FOUNDER

    With 11+ years in education and experience teaching elementary, middle and high school, SJ wants to live in a world where teachers never have to choose between teaching or enjoying life, students only work on shit that matters, and school systems start doing less schooling and more educating.

  • Allie Cetak

    CO-FOUNDER

    With 7+ years in education and experience teaching both middle and high school, Cetak wants to live in a world where teachers and students show up to school and laugh their asses off with each other everyday. Because life is short and kids are hilarious.

  • Magen Kilcoyne

    CO-FOUNDER

    With 17+ years in education and experience teaching both middle and high school, Kilcoyne wants to live in a world where behavior files on kids don’t exist. A world in which educators around the globe understand brain science and...the school system stops punishing kids.

  • Jessica Rierson

    CO-FOUNDER

    With 11+ years in education and experience teaching both middle and high school, Jessica wants to live in a world where teachers are viewed as the prestigious pillars of society that they are and where students describe their classrooms as beautiful.
