With new teachers, regardless of how much talent and promise they bring to the table, there are plenty of guaranteed rough spots before they find their rhythm. While it can be discouraging, this is the reality of virtually any profession. But administrators can also take a number of steps to ease disappointment and help young educators learn from those setbacks rather than dwelling on them or letting them crush their optimism or passion for teaching.

Perhaps the most important is pairing them with an experienced teacher mentor/coach. Reassurance from a veteran peer can make a considerable difference when things don't go as expected, as can the wisdom those teachers can provide. Additionally, the rise of micro-credentials have made it easier than ever to offer individual teachers personalized professional development opportunities in any area in which they need or want to improve.
