Abstract

Abstract: The implementation of the new curriculum standards emphasizes students' subjectivity in learning and places more diverse and in-depth demands on teachers' instructional leadership. However, novice teachers often face multiple challenges, including difficulty in shifting teaching philosophies, inadequate classroom management, and insufficient capacity in assessment and resource integration. These challenges stem from both the lack of a comprehensive school support system and personal factors of the teachers themselves. To address these issues, schools should strengthen guidance and support by providing targeted training and improving mentoring systems. Meanwhile, novice teachers need to deepen their theoretical understanding, actively engage in teaching practice, enhance classroom management and assessment abilities, and improve their capacity to integrate and utilize resources, ultimately growing into outstanding educators.
