successful Novice Teacher
I truly believe that the success of a novice teacher falls on the administrator. Novice teachers do need to possess certain charateristics such as: eagerness to learn from students and others, ability to reach different learners and survival skills in general. In order for the novice to be successful the administration need to provide these teachers with essential tools. The essential tools should be having a mentor, co-plannning with other teachers, staff development and observing model classrooms. The stats on novice teacher turnover shows that these teachers need the school family and themselves to be successful and productive.

I second your comments. Novice teachers need the support of their school family to help them become successful. A sure way to help novice teachers become successful is observing in other classrooms. Model classrooms would be the dream, but believe it or not, I also learned from those not so "model."
I agree with both you and mary, I think novice teachers need support when they first enter the profession. There are many challenges, such as classroom design, curriculum, and classroom management that take up a lot of effort and energy. Having a mentor, and support environments can help novice teachers when they need it most.
Well established mentorship programs are crucial for the success of anovice teacher. There are many districts who leave the new teachers to fend for themselves against the elements of a sometimes cruel profession. New teachers need constant guidance and encouragement in order to become successful educators and provide the students with the best possible education.
I agree that novice teachers should be given a lot of help from the adminsitrator. Novice teachers need to be given the assistance that they need to be able to be effective in the classroom.
