Supporting New Teachers
Supporting New Teachers: Insight for Principals and Others to Help New Teachers in Their Initial Years provides a framework for critical components every new teacher needs to be successful and feel supported in their first year of teaching. It also serves as a guide for administrators to ensure their new teachers are equipped with the tools needed to be successful. Based on interviews with new teachers, the authors offer recommendations for which resources and activities novices felt were needed to successfully navigate their first year of employment. Their suggestions emphasized the need to create new teacher induction activities and mentoring programs that are based on the specific needs of novice teachers versus veteran teachers.
Success is Possible
Teacher retention is of utmost importance at a time when so many young teachers choose not to remain in the profession. Teachers exiting the profession cite a lack of administrative support throughout their first years in the classroom. Implementing mentoring programs for beginning teachers will guarantee help and assistance during the difficult time of adjusting to a new career. Mentoring programs are critical when teachers are leaving the profession as quickly as they are leaving. Mentoring programs strengthen faculty relationships within their school community while increasing teachers’ motivation and drive to remain in the profession. If teachers are appreciated, supported, and intrinsically motivated, they will want to be in schools, and they will remain.

Civility, Compassion, and Courage in Schools Today
Over the past two decades, and perhaps even before the “No Child Left Behind Act,” policy makers and others have managed to drain civility, compassion, and courage from everyday classroom instruction. We have grown to become an educational system that is almost solely focused on academics at the expense of teaching to the whole child. Civility, Compassion, and Courage in Schools Today argues that civility, compassion and courage are absolutely essential to foster good citizenship—to encourage and motivate students to action—to take on the perspectives of others, and to see how they can become productive members in an ever changing global community. Using the authors’ “Model of Influence,” a four level hierarchy, they suggest that students can be taught to be more civil, compassionate, and courageous, even when facing adversity, and can move from developing a consciousness about these attributes into embracing influence and taking bold action. This book provides numerous examples as well as lesson plans designed to assist all educators to infuse their instruction with these critical attributes.
