[quote=Anonymous]A note from a former teacher: While it’s common for new teachers to face some challenges, these are signs this particular teacher is struggling more than he should. To be clear, I don’t entirely blame the teacher. I’ve been there and seen that the underlying issue is often a lack of appropriate support. Older faculty were battle-hardened and brought with them years of resources that they had accumulated from attending professional development courses, working with others, and seeing multiple curricula. A lot of well-regarded schools are leaving teachers without curriculum maps or adequate lesson plans. Nor do they always have coordinated planning time where teachers of the same subjects/grade levels can share lessons and grading policies. Anyway, it stinks for all involved—students, parents, and new teachers—especially as admin’s typical response is just to pressure the teacher to do better.[/quote]
