[quote=Anonymous]Aside from more energy and enthusiasm, a first-year teacher, in Montgomery County, will be in a program in which s/he will be evaluated by the administration, and will have a consulting teacher.  A consulting teacher will observe every 2-4 weeks in the beginning, less frequently later in the year, and will be a source of constructive criticism, feedback and resources.

I'm a teacher, and honestly, the veterans are the ones that I would be more weary of for my own kids.  Some of the vets I know are very stuck in their ways and don't want to adapt to new technology and teaching methods.  I know a lot of teachers who have been at it a while (who are still great teachers) but have lost a lot of enthusiasm and start a lot of sentences with "When I first I started, I used to..."  Truthfully, I've been teaching 10 years and there are a lot of things I used to do--using sign language, using kids' photos for labels, etc--that I don't do as often.  It's hard to keep it up year after year.[/quote]
