Sommario/riassunto

Nearly half of all novices abandon the profession in their first seven years. To lower the dropout rate, this book from the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) examines why beginning teachers struggle and how research-based strategies can help them thrive. Among the highlights: detailed advice on setting up Beginning Teacher Assistance Programs, which use mentors and support teams to boost skills, morale, and potential.
