While it’s great to see experts highlighting the importance of new teacher induction, nothing communicates the benefits of our work more than hearing directly from new teachers like Jessica Haslam, who called her first year in the classroom the hardest year of her life. Haslam, an elementary school teacher, could have left the profession. Thanks to her mentor, she stayed and became a better teacher.

I came across this article by Diane Ravitch, an historian of education, an educational policy analyst, and former United States Assistant Secretary of Education. She is now a research professor at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.

What is your perspective of her narrative?
