PROBLEMS FACING NEW TEACHERS.


17455. PROBLEMS FACING NEW TEACHERS. This paper provides an overview and analysis of problems facing new teachers (both general and special education) and the kinds of supports and/or interventions that have been found to help new teachers cope with these problems. The analysis is based on a review of scholarly journals and personal reflection from the perspective of a graduate student in education. The analysis reveals that major problem areas for new teachers include the need for practical information, the gap between expectations and reality, relationships with students and classroom management, relationships with parents, relationships with faculty, and time and financial pressures. The problems faced by general and special education teachers are similar, although new special education teachers confront particular problems related to supervision of para-professionals and practical skills needed for the development of IEPs. New teachers need both practical and emotional support to alleviate these problems. Well designed induction programs, ongoing mentor relationships, administrative support, and access to practical resources can work to address the problems faced by new teachers. KEYWORDS: novice teachers mentors induction orientation special education. Written 2005. 17 pages; 31 footnotes; 15 bibliographic sources. 3,843 words.   $119
