Summary New Teacher Learning Communities provide opportunities for new teachers to network with peers, share ideas, reflect on their practice and concerns, receive feedback, and discover new ways to address concerns—an alternative to “sit and get”. How can program facilitators design sessions that provide structure to ensure new teachers get what they need? During this session, participants will explore ideas to help them design effective sessions that make the best use of time.
