Resources for New Teachers

We have curated this selection of resources with new teachers in mind and they all meet the top seven professional development criteria that extensive research with educators—teachers (new and veteran), coaches, specialists, principals, superintendents—indicated are most important for new teachers.

Start your journey with a free new teacher toolkit and resources specifically developed for new teachers and teacher induction. Then explore books on classroom management, equity, literacy, mathematics, social-emotional learning (SEL), and teaching methods. We’ve even included a section on mentoring, recognizing that a good mentor will help new teachers thrive. Whether you are looking to satisfy a need in professional development, wanting to provide quality teacher induction resources, or materials for mentoring new teachers, Corwin has the best resources for new teachers and veteran teachers alike! 

White Paper Report:

In 2022, Corwin conducted research to learn what we could do to help schools better support and retain new teachers. We learned a lot about the challenges new teachers—those in their first three years—face and what can be done to help them successfully meet these challenges. We are making changes to our new teacher PD offerings based on what educators told us.

We know PD alone may not solve the national teacher shortage or retention problem, but it can help to provide some relief, especially to those who are new to the profession. After compiling the data, we thought there was information that administrators might find helpful as they make decisions about how best to support new teachers in those first few critical years. In the following report, we share what more than 4,000 teachers and 250 administrators nationwide told us.
