Abstract:This survey was designed to measure the experiences of teachers who have recently completed their first year of teaching in public schools. It includes questions on their experiences in relation to students, administrators, other teachers, and parents. The report marks the completion of a two-part survey of new teachers. A first survey was conducted during the summer of 1990 to measure the expectations of graduates from teaching schools immediately prior to their first year of teaching in public schools. The current survey focuses on comparing how these teachers' experience in their first year of teaching has affected their attitudes, and how the actual experience of teaching compares with their prior expectations as measured by the first survey. A total of 1,007 teachers were interviewed by telephone. Ten tables display responses with respect to: expectations vs. experiences regarding themselves, their students, principals, the status and dedication of teachers, parents, the need for school-based social services; teacher preparation; and aids to becoming a more effective teacher. The survey questionnaire showing the marginal frequency for all questions appears in the appendix. (LL)
