[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, PP, it’s going to be a bloodbath. I hope these poor newbies are set up with solid mentor teachers (who are in some way compensated because this is going to be a lot of work for them too!)[/quote]

People gripe about the support specialists (e.g., coaches) not being in the classroom, but these are the people who are going to be tapped to handle a lot of these 'on the work' training folks--there's just too many to be absorbed by mentor teachers who have their own dedicated classes.  It's  not just the teacher resident positions, but also all the long-term subs and  provisional license hires that are not experienced (there are some provisional license hires that are--but some that are still in their teacher ed programs).  They will be helping them with classroom management issues, with data reporting, with meeting their license requirements, doing the required observations  etc.  My guess is that they will each be assigned at least 5 newbies (at various schools) and spend a day with each in their classes co-teaching and helping plan for the rest of the week.  Depending on numbers they might be assigned more.  In schools where there are a lot of newbies they might not have to travel school to school. [/quote]
