This inspiring book provides research-based, practical ideas on how to support new teachers while honoring the innovation, idealism, and optimistic enthusiasm that they bring to the classroom. It shares strategies on everything from supporting new teachers early in the year, through using student work to guide instruction, to offering ongoing help with curriculum planning and facilitating professional development opportunities. Jennifer believes, and her book demonstrates, that when schools embrace, encourage, and celebrate the work of new teachers, they establish a supportive community that fosters excellence and improves retention.
