Description

This course examines the professional issues faced by first year teachers, including the culture of isolation characteristic of many schools, transition shock, workload issues and classroom management challenges. Strategies for addressing these challenges, such as mentoring, peer support, problem-based discussion groups, and the sharing of personal narratives and dialogue through face-to-face and online forums will be explored.
