• ISSUES with beginning
teaching

11. Jenkins, Smith and Maxwell, (2009)
Are learning about teaching as well as continuing to learn how to teach.
Are coming to terms with the often challenging cultural milieu of a classroom or school.
Experience personal and professional isolation
Struggle with personal and social identity.
Often have difficulty making the transition from Student teacher to beginning teacher.
Are learning to cope with the itinerant nature of casual teaching.
Find it difficult to build relationships with new sets of students and teachers in a constantly changing
environment.
Discover that establishing rapport in a single day is almost impossible.
Face Disappointment because many school communities do not provide ongoing systematic support.

ON the Ning, Nang, Nong
Where the WEB goes BONG
and the ACADEMICS all say BOO!
There’s a Nong, Nang, NING
Where the STUDENTS go PING
and the COLLEGE MANAGEMENT goes JIBBER JABBER JOO.
On the Nong, NING, Nang
all the academics go CLANG
and you just can’t catch them when they do.
So, it’s the NING, Nang, Nong
The WEB goes BONG, Nang, NING, Nong, the STUDENTS go PING,
Nang, Ning, Nong, the academics go CLANG,
What a noisy place to belong, is the Ning, Nang,Ning, Nang, Nong!
