[quote=Anonymous]OP, you may not think this, but the idea that you need to "help" a newer teacher is rather condescending. Newer teachers can get great advice/mentoring from experienced teachers in their school. You have knowledge about your kid, but you do not possess knowledge about teaching.

As far as managing your expectation, you should expect/hope that you child has a good teacher. Many people have posted threads in the past expressing fears about their kids getting stuck with a new teacher, and many people have responded that some of their kids' best teachers ended up being "newbies" while some of their worst experiences were with "veterans" who were burnt out or too old-fashioned in their approach.

This is not to say I'm saying new teachers=good, long-time teacher=bad. I'm saying you just don't know.

If you have very specific concerns regarding your child, send an email introducing yourself and explaining your concern. Otherwise, be an engaged parent, attend open house and conferences, and communicate if you have a specific concern about your child.
