We have a really inexperienced teacher who has just joined. It's her first job out of school and unfortunately her kids are showing signs that they're rowdy and probably not getting much learning done. We've got this approach of like we're your big sisters we'll help you out and mentor you, but at some point I don't know if we are forced to give so much feedback that she will either lose confidence that would be essential for her to maintain, or maybe know it's just not going to work out...

Give her time to gain the experience. She needs time to learn what works and what doesn't work.

If your district doesn’t have a mentoring program, maybe you should look into getting one started. This way the new teacher doesn’t feel they are bothering other teachers and can go directly to their mentor for advice or answers. It would also help the veteran teachers. They would be able to speak with the mentor to let them know there may be a problem or concern.

I think you just need to show some curiosity with this person. Sit down with them and ask them how they're doing, what challenges they're facing, what they like about the work, etc... Have a human moment with them and what you're looking for might naturally come up.

This really needs to be nipped in the bud asap. Super important to get that classroom management down or it will be awful, awful those last months of school. I pray that she will listen to you. We went through that last year and it was horrible to watch and deal with the kids from that class.

Maybe she would benefit from another teacher in her to model for her or, can she go other classrooms to observe? We’ve done that in our district, sometimes new teachers go to a different elementary in the district and observe some good teachers (?) just a thought

I'm wondering how many IEPs she has in that class? What are the variables? Maybe it's a tough combination of kids? Hopefully she will come to you for advice when she needs it.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Sometimes they dump all of the behaviors on someone new, which is very unfair, especially if they are new to teaching. There is such a huge teacher shortage and this is why sometimes. I have seen new teachers leave teaching after 3 months, some stay the whole year and then leave. This is my 39th year and it's sad to see that new teachers are staying at an average for 3 years and then onto a new profession. She needs a mentor, someone that shows they care and can offer support, maybe tell her to send a student if they are causing problems to their class, so she can get the class back together and the child sees that the behaviors won't be tolerated. Thank you for caring enough to bring this up on here to get advice.
