I started looking for what other people say new teachers need. Here are some more answers to the original post on Musings from a Not-So-Master Teacher:
- Mentors - in the form of experienced teachers, possibly full-time mentors (Betty's Blog)
- Support - help from the administration and again, veteran teachers (Ed.gov)
- Experience - live and learn (So You Want To Teach?) (Athena)
- A Survival Kit - a practical guide (So You Want To Teach?)
- Resources - the "stuff" that you need (thanks, natalie! - DedicatedTeacher)
This post will grow as I find more answers.
