The New Teacher Network (NTN@TC) is a community of practice for Teachers College's newest teacher graduates. With a blend of in-person and online collaboration, NTN@TC provides personalized support through customized professional development workshops, mentoring and coaching, and a dedicated online community.

Early career teacher attrition is on the rise; over 40 percent of new public school teachers leave teaching before completing their first five years in the classroom (NCTAF, 2012). These numbers increase in high needs school and urban areas where new teachers exit the field in increasing numbers because of challenges with student discipline, inadequate planning supports, and lack of administrative support (Ingersoll & Strong, 2011). NTN@TC seeks to provide that missing support to TC graduates.
