Summary
A teacher's first year in the classroom is crucial. New teachers require time and professional guidance to become successful expert teachers. However, initially they often feel isolated and unequipped to take on new-teacher responsibilities. Without support, new teachers may not gain the confidence and knowledge necessary to continue teaching. In Supporting Beginning Teachers, author Tina H. Boogren outlines four types of support (1) physical, (2) emotional, (3) instructional, and (4) institutional and provides essential strategies for K-12 mentors, coaches, and school leaders to develop an effective mentoring program schoolwide.
