This 60-minute webinar from the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) explores how school leaders and mentors should support novice teachers. The webinar is part of SREB’s broader “From Surviving to Thriving” series on transforming support for new teachers. Featuring an assistant principal from a Florida middle school and a mentor teacher from Georgia, the session draws on their experiences to examine how collaborative leadership, intentional mentorship, and a positive school culture contribute to teacher growth, confidence, and retention. Speakers discuss the roles that school leaders and mentors play in providing meaningful feedback, building trust, creating opportunities for reflection, and responding to the evolving needs of beginning teachers throughout their first years in the classroom. The webinar also highlights practical approaches to developing mentoring relationships, creating supportive school environments, and strengthening induction practices that help novice teachers thrive and remain in the profession.
