S-01: Triumphs & Trials: Intercollegiate Support for (Early Career) Teachers

How can we create an engaged community to support teachers’ pedagogical journey? Teachers and pedagogical counsellors from John Abbott and Vanier will share their accompaniment programs for early career teachers (loosely defined as those within their first five years of teaching), exploring the successes and challenges of these initiatives. Our data highlights the need for these types of programs and their positive impacts. With the help of SALTISE, we have extended our community of practice to include other colleges. We will engage participants in a discussion of how to continue to grow this community.
