Letter to Prospective Teachers

Starting a teaching career is an exciting and important step. You are entering a profession in which every day is unique and challenging, offers many rewards, and provides you the opportunity to have a lasting impact on our country's future. In Lebanon, we recognize the challenges a first year teacher faces and provide you with support from both a mentor and a "buddy," someone who's there to "hold your hand" if that's what you need. Your own personal and professional growth are guaranteed through ongoing professional development and through curricular connections with Eastern Connecticut State University, the University of Connecticut, the Connecticut Science Center, and the regional service centers of EASTCONN and LEARN. Ample instructional materials, up-to-date technology, small class sizes, and "good kids" make Lebanon a unique and rewarding place to begin your teaching career.
