What's this all about?
It can be challenging, rewarding, overwhelming, and exciting to be a new teacher! We want to help you stay in touch with one another through your first few years of teaching, and we want to make sure that you have all of the support you need in a safe, completely judgement free space.

You already know you can count on your Rider classmates and The School of Education faculty members for great advice, but now you will able to come together in a virtual space you are already using: Facebook!
This closed, private Facebook group will give you the chance to ask questions, share resources, and give and get encouragement throughout your first year of teaching.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of questions can I ask in this Facebook group?
Will this really help me -- I have a lot going on?
- Anything! Questions about classroom management, dealing with difficult parents or students, SGOs, report cards, unit planning… You name it, we can help!
- As soon as you're ready! Looking for a job? Want to share interview tips? Need interview tips? As you know, Rider offers lots of support throughout this part of the process, but why not learn from each other? This new Facebook group is for job-searchers, too!
Will this really help me -- I have a lot going on?
- Yes! As a new teacher, there will be times when you will want to share a success story, and you won't necessarily want to do that with colleagues -- this group is for you! There will be other times when you will really need support but won't feel comfortable asking your principal or grade level team -- this will also be a great place to start.
- No. The group will be closed, and the intention is that what goes on inside the group stays inside the group. It's important to remember to always respect the confidentiality of children and colleagues, but we are here to support one another.
