I have been a primary school teacher in Queensland since 1993 and have also had the enriching experience of teaching many of our beginning teachers at university. It is from my own experiences that I came to realise that many new teachers were feeling that no matter how much study they did, the university experience did not completely prepare them for their first month of teaching.

I became passionate about helping new teachers, so I developed a complete set of resources to help you, as a beginning teacher, get established quickly in your new school environment and alleviate the stress you will encounter with starting a new school year.

Don't just believe me though; read what beginning teachers, university staff and in-school professionals have to say about the Guide.
