Skolekultur, lærerstart og fodfæste

Collaboration, mastery vs performing, atmosphere and career are four central terms regarding school culture and newly qualified teacher’s foothold. Horizontal relations, reciprocity and equality when working together on self-experienced challenges without known solutions, supports the newly qualified teachers. The effect of the supporting activities is dependent on whether a school culture is oriented towards mastery or performing, and of the new teachers’ sense of self-efficacy. Supportive school management, good communication, clear organization and welcoming colleagues, contributes to a good induction period. It may be valuable to develop an organizational approach to new teachers’ careers that supports several career orientations.
