Product DescriptionProvides a model to help new teachers adjust to challenges faced as they begin their classroom careers.ReviewThe section of the book containing the teachers poignant reflections reveals the degree of isolation new teachers often feel. It serves as a reminder to those who work with new teachers about the trials and triumphs of the first year of teaching. The book provides a model for helping teachers evaluate and work toward solving some of the difficulties they encounter through peer discussion and support. Childhood Educationan essential read for district and site administrators who want to retain and encourage teacher effectiveness and growth. Middle GroundThe firstyear teacher is, as the authors convincingly demonstrate, cast into the fire without any mentorship from more experienced teachers and without administrative decisions that would make the first year one of more than just survival. The idea of firstyear teachers serving, in their groups, as experts to other firstyear teachers removes the hierarchy of experience and leads to sharing with serious purpose instead of passive reception with hopelessness.
