1st year teaching should be a residency. A lighter work load, a lot of mentoring, observing, & minimal accountability. Too many good teachers are expected to “sink or swim” & guess what. They usually sink! Is this the best way to prepare them? One reason for the high attrition!

“I hope you're proud of yourself for the times you've said "yes," when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to someone else.”
