EREA/EREBB New Teachers Global Network 

EREA, in partnership with EREA Colleges Ltd, have started an exciting new initiative for new and young teachers in the profession. 

This week over 60 new and young teachers from Edmund Rice schools in Australia, India, Africa, Europe, North America and South America, met online for the inaugural EREA/EREBB New Teachers’ Global Network. 

This Network aims to enable new and young teachers in our schools to meet others from across our global network. It involves them meeting (online) four times over three terms, sharing their experiences of being a new teacher in the Edmund Rice tradition, exploring ideas and strategies, and hearing from invited Principals/Leaders about their own experiences of being a new teacher. 

At the end of the project, teachers will partner with others from across the globe and develop a learning project that they can do together with their respective students...thus further engaging with the global network.

According to UNESCO’s Global Report on Teachers, retention of new teachers is a worldwide issue, and being part of our global network is one approach to supporting their ongoing commitment to and excitement for teaching in the Edmund Rice Tradition, thus retaining them in the profession.
