Our Challenge
THE FIRST YEARS OF TEACHING ARE THE HARDEST
• Teacher education programs do not prepare new
teachers for the rigors of the classroom
• New teachers often lack strong in-school support–
they are left to “sink or swim”
• New teachers become discouraged and often leave
the profession within 5 years

Our Challenge
MEANWHILE…
• We know that teachers have more impact on
student success than any other school-based factor
• The students who are in greatest need of excellent
teachers are the ones who are disproportionately
taught by inexperienced teachers
• The achievement gap widens.
