TSC Ep 025 - 5 Simple Ways to Support New Teachers
Description
It's no secret that we have a teacher crisis in America. The statistic remains that most teachers do not make it past five years in this career.
So, if we know that people are entering our field feeling overwhelmed...so overwhelmed that they leave, how can we make them feel more supported?
The trick is helping people feel supported when we ourselves already feel stretched too thin and overloaded with work. Should it fall on the teachers' shoulder to make new teachers feel welcomed and supported? Probably not. But, in the day-to-day life of teaching, a new teacher's team is his or her lifeline.
So, in a perfect world there would be mentors, coaches, and admin flooding new teacher's classrooms helping them with every detail of their day. But, we do not live in a perfect world. We often need to support our teammates on our own.
The good news? It doesn't have to be complicated. Today, I have five tips for supporting new teachers without adding more work to your own plate!
