The New York City-based Teacher Network invites all new teachers -- whether brand new, relatively new, or constantly seeking new assignments, ideas and experiences -- to use its online resources and receive suggestions from experienced online teacher mentors. The site includes videos of teachers in the classroom, and accompanying curriculum plans.
This website has culled the internet for a vast listing of links for resources on the first days of middle school, discipline and classroom management, and help for new teachers. The resources are valuable for all teachers at all grade levels!
