"The term hazing is a powerful one, and I do not use it lightly," writes Mary Patterson, a new teacher support provider in California. In this article from Educational Leadership (May 2005), Patterson defines "new teacher hazing" as those institutional practices and policies that result in new teachers experiencing poorer working conditions than their veteran colleagues. Patterson and her colleagues videotaped new teachers as they discussed their experiences with hazing and also analyzed class and room assignments in the high school in which they worked. They found that disproportionate numbers of new teachers taught the most challenging courses and were required to share classrooms. Patterson offers several strategies that can make teacher assignments more equitable.
