Counting on Colleagues: New Teachers Encounter the Professional Cultures of Their Schools.

Kardos, Susan M.; Johnson, Susan Moore; Peske, Heather G.; Kauffman, David; Liu, Edward

Educational Administration Quarterly, v37 n2 p250-90 Apr 2001

Investigates second-year Massachusetts teachers' experiences with three professional cultures of their schools: veteran-oriented, novice-oriented, and integrated. Finds, for example, that integrated professional cultures, unlike either veteran- or novice-oriented cultures, provided new teachers with sustained support and collegial exchange regardless of experience level. Principal is key to developing and maintaining integrated cultures. (Contains 66 references.) (PKP)
