CHALLENGES OF NOVICE TEACHERS

Abstract



The first
year of a teacher’s career has a great importance since it gives a clue whether
the teacher will stay in the field or not. 
Novice teachers’ step into professional life from graduation might be
worrying, because there is no gentle adaptation period into teaching
profession. At the first day of school, the novice teacher has to stand in
front of students. The novices should teach like experienced teachers, in
addition have many roles. The expectation from both teachers is same. The
novice is expected to learn the school environment, policies and procedures
while becoming familiar with curriculum, testing and school. There are some
issues in the class atmosphere as well like, students at different levels, pacing
speed, workload, communicate with parents and students. Teachers may need a survival
kit between their background knowledge, training and the realities of the classroom.
Entering classroom with lack of experience can cause negative feelings for new
educators. This can lead to a feeling of isolation which may later result in
unwanted situation like losing the teacher in the field of education.  When novice teachers feel overwhelmed by
their practice that they need to improve upon, a training can ease their work
and help them survive in the field.
