From Preparation to Practice: Building Your Community of Support

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Elevating Educators Coalition’s Educator Pathway Event Series | Prepare → Develop

This event is part of the Elevating Educators Coalition’s Educator Pathway Event Series, designed to connect and support educators at key stages of their careers.

The transition from educator preparation into your first years of teaching can be both exciting and overwhelming. You are learning your students, your school, and the day-to-day realities of teaching, often while navigating new responsibilities and systems.

You do not have to navigate it alone.

Join the Elevating Educators Coalition for an evening designed to help new and aspiring teachers build community, strengthen their professional networks, and connect with people and organizations that can support them throughout their early careers.

Through honest conversation, relationship-building, and a shared meal, you will have opportunities to:

• Connect with educators navigating similar experiences
• Build relationships across schools and preparation programs
• Hear practical lessons from teachers who recently made the transition into the classroom
• Discover organizations, programs, and communities that support early-career educators
• Share the questions and challenges that are most important to you
• Leave with a concrete next step and at least one meaningful new connection

This event will take place at City Year, Boston located at 287 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA 02116.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This event is designed for:

• First and early-career teachers
• All educators seeking community and professional connections
• Candidates currently completing an educator preparation program and preparing to enter the classroom

This is not a recruitment event or a formal professional development session. It is an opportunity to connect, learn from one another, and build a community of support for the journey ahead.

YOUR VOICE WILL HELP SHAPE THE EVENING

During registration, we will invite you to share the questions, challenges, and types of support that are most important to you. Your input will help shape the event’s conversations and inform future Elevating Educators Coalition programming.

Space is limited. Register today to join educators from across Massachusetts for an evening of connection, reflection, and community-building.
