Welcome to TeacherLaunch!
A resource for beginning teachers
(and veterans who want to catch up!)
I created TeacherLaunch as a space for preservice and beginning secondary teachers to get information on all things teaching and classrooms. We know that 44% of teachers leave the profession in their first five years (Ingersoll, 2018), and that was in pre-Covid years! The teaching profession is facing major shortages, and as of November, 2021, 48% of teachers reported that they had considered changing jobs in the last month. The objective of this blog is to provide prospective and new teachers with the information, strategies, and resources that will inform and support them in their launch into the teaching profession!

Join me as we launch a new generation of effective teachers!

So, welcome to all -- those interested in the teaching profession, preservice teachers, beginning teachers, and veteran teachers. I hope this blog will be a space you can return to in order to look for suggestions, information, and resources on your teaching journey.

Once you have read the welcome and introductions (please read a little about my work and my passion for teaching and for supporting new teachers), access the articles. I'd love to hear from you and your own experiences as we move forward.
Under Construction!
This site is a living document!
We are now "under construction," and the site is intended to change and grow.
