Some districts hiring more than 500 new teachers last school year, half of whom were brand new to the profession. Some districts brining in more than 200 teachers from out of state– Fox 13 report

One on one conversations come into play! Opportunity for AR, leaders, members UEA staff to meet the new teachers and talk with them about OUR investment in their success.
