This study aims to learn more about new teachers’ perceived strengths, and how these contribute to the schools where they are applied. The findings reveal that new teachers as resources are not used in a positive way in their workplaces, even though more experienced teachers can learn from them. The authors conclude that providing new teachers with a good start means nurturing their strengths and creating an environment with a culture of sharing and cooperation with mutual exchange and challenging of ideas and experiences. Both new and experienced teachers benefit from this.
