New Teacher Chat is BACK! We’ll be hosting the chat on a Monthly basis with resources posted on the #ntchat hashtag all month after the chat. Stay tuned as we ramp up for 2019-2020!

Below is info about the original chat:

New Teacher Chat (#ntchat) reached 7 years in 2017! After much success and international recognition, New Teacher Chat was retired in January of 2017.

New Teacher Chat and the hashtag #ntchat on Twitter was founded on May 5th, 2010 by Lisa Dabbs @teachwithsoul. The chat was created to provide weekly mentoring and focus on the needs of new, new to the profession and pre-service teachers world-wide. The focus of the chat was to be practitioner focused with supportive resources for all participants, particularly those new to the profession.

New teachers collaborated weekly during #ntchat by sharing ideas and resources with others as well as concerns they had as they prepared to enter the profession.

Experienced, tenured teachers were encouraged to take part in New Teacher Chat to support and mentor this eager and excited group.

  • The chat was held on Twitter Wednesdays, from 5pm-6pm PST/8pm-9pm ET.
  • The #ntchat hashtag was used to join the conversation.
  • The #ntchat hashtag continues on Twitter to connect new & pre-service teachers to those who can support them.

Update! Cassie Reeder @cassiereederEdu and Chuck Poole @cpoole27 have joined the New Teacher Chat team! Follow them along with Lisa Dabbs @teachwithsoul for supportive content and resources for New Teachers!

Although the weekly #ntchat has retired, the conversations continue to this day on Twitter. Educators from all over the world use the #ntchat hastag to tag posts, images and resources that are supportive for new and pre-service teachers. Help us to continue to keep the momentum alive!

As the journey of New Teacher Chat continues, look for new updates. Our New Teacher Community needs us.
