One of the major contributors to teacher turnover, especially with new teachers, is the lack of a support structure in most schools. New teachers are expected to go through some rite of passage by being shown their rooms and told to get your lesson plans in by the end of the week and I will see you at the next faculty meeting. What ever the source of the new teacher, there neds to be a strong structured support system in place to make success of this new teacher a priority.
