Teach in Alamance-Burlington School System
Great teachers come from backgrounds that bring different experiences and knowledge into classrooms to benefit students. Recognizing that beginning educators often face tremendous challenges at the start of their careers, Alamance-Burlington School System (ABSS) has designed a Beginning Teacher Program to support educators new to our team. By coupling our Beginning Teacher Support Program with the ongoing support provided by school-based and learning community leadership, ABSS works to ensure that beginning educators will gain accelerated success and effectiveness, as well as greater self-confidence during the first years of their new career.
Our goal is to recruit, retain, and support new teachers to the Alamance-Burlington School System to become effective instructional leaders within their classrooms and school community. In addition to providing district-level support, beginning teachers also receive individualized support from lead mentors and mentors at their schools.
