Participants of this webinar will: Learn why new teachers need more than a “buddy teacher” and explore what a web of support looks like; Identify roles in your district/ school/ organization that can help support new teachers; Consider unique issues facing new teachers of color and how to build communities that support teachers of color; Examine best practices in mentoring; and Develop strategies for ongoing check-ins and support throughout
