There’s something so exciting about brand new teachers’ classrooms and watching them get it ready all summer long. So much wonder. So much self-drive. So much innocence. The sad part is when we see a new teacher lose that because they don’t feel supported during their first year. Support your new teachers. 🔺Check on them daily. 🔸Model lessons for them. 🔺Provide them an automatic coaching cycle with the instructional coach on day 1. 🔸Provide specific feedback. 🔺Model the first phone call home. 🔸Pre-plan their first parent conf and do it with them. 🔺Simply ask, “How can I help?” And ask often. Teachers will be more likely to stay in the profession when they feel supported. Plain and simple. What did I miss?
