Alumni Teachers Find Guidance and Support Through
New Teacher Community


Have you ever felt isolated in your classroom, wondering what the “best practice” is when confronted with a difficult situation and not knowing whom to ask?

Do you wish you had a network of new and experienced teachers to guide you through those uncertain times?

Well you do! The Lesley University New Teacher Community (NTC) knows that the first years of your teaching career can be immensely gratifying, but also filled with all sorts of pressure that can feel overwhelming. They get that!

The brainchild and natural out-growth of Lesley’s field placement experience, the New Teacher Community was founded by Marcia Bromfield, Harriet Deane and Nancy Roberts, professors in Lesley’s Graduate School of Education and nationally-recognized experts in their field.

NTC provides all sorts of opportunities to Lesley alumni, including consultations with experienced teachers, special events and innovative programs, and networking opportunities with Lesley faculty, fellow teachers and classmates.
