Administrators need to be reminded that the beginning teacher, while trying to achieve the necessary competency ratings, encounters both problems and dilemmas that need to be dealt with in a manner that does not impede growth. This period of growth is embedded in experiences that are the cause of a great deal of reflection, deconstruction, reconstruction and planning. Much of this transitional journey is emotionally, physically and spiritually demanding. Beginning teachers strive for success on a stage that is not their own yet this same stage is the focus of evaluative mentors who must interpret and record a great deal of each performance in order to judge the progress of the beginning teacher in a supportive manner.
