Supporting new teachers. Fact sheet 15/2020.

Entering the profession is a challenging time for new teachers. Supports in schools can make the difference between new teachers finding their professional identities and dropping out. These key areas help new teachers adjust to professional life. In particular, mentoring and school induction offer targeted and personalised support. However, opportunities for networking and getting to know the local community, as well as provision of time for managing workload can all contribute to a successful launch into the profession.
