The job of teaching is complex and demanding. It can be very difficult for those new to the professional to be successful. Research has repeated shown that many teachers leave the profession within their first 3 years. If these new teachers receive support, their chances of success and staying in the profession are greatly increased.

Join us for the first day in a 3 day series with Dr. John Eller, co-author of the new book, Thriving as a New Teacher, as he discusses strategies for success for teachers within their first 3 years on the job. John will provide hands-on, practical ideas and strategies to help new teachers be successful in this interactive seminar. Dr. Eller 

is a former teacher (both elementary and high school), principal, and district office administrator. Dr. Eller is currently a professor in Educational Administration and Leadership at St. Cloud State University.
