The 2020 New Teachers Retreat
Updated on April 21, 2020
With heavy hearts, the Leadership Team of the New Teachers Retreat has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Retreat. We were holding on hope that we could hold this year’s Retreat, because we feel our Retreat is as important as ever with the challenges and trauma that the virus has caused for so many. Unfortunately, we ultimately decided it was best to hold off until July 2021 with the continued uncertainty of this year and the COVID-19 situation.
We are working together to continue to remotely support new teachers with online resources to come out over the next few weeks and months and hope to be able to do more in the fall. We look forward to the summer of 2021 when we will return to Keene State College for the New Teachers Retreat. Until then, we encourage you to follow our social media pages for updates on ways to help new teachers and other resources.
To our new teachers out there, you’ve got this and you’re doing great. Even for our more experienced teachers, this is very different from how we normally teach and reach kids. This is hard and that’s okay. We would all love to be back in our classrooms and despite this, it’s awesome to see teachers of all experiences rise to this challenge. We are still here for you. Please let us know how we can help support you from afar, and we look forward to seeing you in 2021.

Participants:
New teachers within their first 5 years should apply to the New Teachers Retreat. We aim to assemble a diverse group of teachers from from urban, suburban, and rural districts as well private, public, pilot, and charter schools and across grade levels and subject areas.
Cost:
We aim to keep costs manageable as we understand the constraints of a new teacher's budget. The Early Bird Registration is $400 by April 15th and Regular Registration is $425 by June 1st. Scholarships are available. The scholarship application is part of the registration form. Don't forget, most districts have funds for professional development, especially for new teachers. Make sure to contact your administration or HR if you have questions about that process.
