The purpose of our Beginning Teacher (or PCT) network is to meet the needs identified by our PCTS; to connect, to grow, to learn and share as a group. We meet once a term for an hour for professional development and connection. The Beginning Teacher Network was initially born from a need to focus on teacher wellbeing under our previous strategic plan. The revised strategic plan developed in 2022 and identified Teaching & Learning as a core focus area. This prompted network groups connecting teachers from all 10 kura.
