Educators Anonymous – Networking and Support for Educators
Disclaimer: This is not a support group for Educators with a Pinterest addiction.
Educators Anonymous is space for educators to learn from each other and to grow together in knowledge, skills and confidence.
It is a networking and support group for educators to be able to share their practices, their challenges and their successes in a supportive environment free from judgement. A space to find common ground and to connect with peers. A place for connection and reflection where Educators can share their stories, build professional relationships, seek and share information and support from peers and be a mentor or support to your peers.
The use of the term anonymous in this space relates to an individual’s right to Anonymity, to be able to speak openly and honestly about their success, challenges and practices free from judgement in the knowledge that what is shared in this space is shared under a veil of privacy and confidentiality for the purpose of professional growth. We hope you can join us.
