Commenter 2, a teacher with Craven County Schools, said beginning-teacher support from the district and from school-level administrators and colleagues has been “immense and wonderful.”

The speakers described personal experiences with mentorship and classroom technology that, they said, helped daily instruction. Commenter 1 said, “She was the best teacher ever in my whole life and I love her giving a hug and playing and playing outside,” and added, “I like when she makes her spin on her iPad because we get to do Lexia.” Commenter 2 credited a mentor by name: “My mentor, miss Stacy Spear, she was there with me every step of the way, last year. I've chosen Craven County Schools to be my choice as a teacher because of the supports that I've been given from the district and at a school level by my administration and also from the my other teachers, my fellow teachers who constantly support and uplift me to be the best teacher that I can be.”
