Ready and waiting: Beginning primary teachers in NSW

Marilyn Pietsch, John Williamson

Research output: Book chapter/Published conference paper › Conference paper › peer-review

Abstract

this paper, we report on early findings of an ongoing research project into the experiences of beginning teachers in NSW in the course of their first two years in the profession. We argue that from the data already available from case studies and a state wide survey it appears that the employment context in which beginning teachers take up their profession has a significant effect on the capacity of teachers to develop the craft of teaching; on their continuing commitment to the profession; and on their self-confidence and self-image as teachers. This situation has implications for beginning teachers themselves; for the schools in which they work and the students with whom they work; for employing bodies; and for teacher education institutions preparing students to be teachers
