This book provides a framework for critical components every new teacher needs to be successful and feel supported in their first year of teaching. It also serves as a guide for administrators to assure their new teachers are equipped with the tools needed to be successful. Based on interviews with new teachers conducted for this study, we offer recommendations for which resources and activities novices felt were needed to successfully navigate their first year of employment. Their suggestions emphasized the need to create new teacher induction activities and mentoring programs that are based on the specific needs of novice teachers versus veteran teachers. This guide provides critical information for administrators in creating the most positive and supportive educational experience for new teachers on their faculty while also supporting all students within their classrooms.
