In what ways do you foresee a necessity for support in your first year of teaching? From where and how do you expect this support to come? i.e. district, school, fellow teachers...

In my personal opinion, I feel that I will receive the majority of support through my fellow teachers. When starting a new position, your fellow teachers can help acclimate you into the your school's culture. They can teach you recognized classroom management strategies that are effective, help you figure out how to motivate tough students, and encourage your efforts.

Special Education teachers are another group of teachers that I foresee lending quite a bit of support. Students in the special education program have several individual strengths and areas of growth that are beneficial to know about before beginning instruction. Knowledge of the adaptations that you might need to make before hand can make instruction run smoother by helping you manage materials and have a variety of approaches to instruct a lesson. This will eliminate wasted time and help the students reach their full potential.

Within the school I can see the principal and a mentoring teacher being a source of support as well. Being observed early in your career, mentors and principals can give you feedback on a variety of behavior issues, lesson planning, and material management. This supporting cast can also serve as a source of positive feedback. Their positive feedback can reinforce your efforts and increase your drive to reach your goals and fulfill your potential.
