First 3 is a support program for beginning teachers, who are in their first three years in the teaching career, and undergraduate students. First 3 starts with a Summer Institute in August and offers seminars and workshops through the year. The program offers an opportunity for teachers to be part of a learning community, share their experiences, and learn teaching strategies, time and management strategies, and professional development strategies. Furthermore, First 3 offers resources such as books, iPad and online apps recommendations for teaching and classroom management. The program completed its third year, and this report summarizes the findings from the reports of 2012, 2013 and 2014. As in the previous reports, this study uses focus groups, interviews, surveys with open-ended questions and rating scales to evaluate the program. The main objective of this study is to assess First 3's effectiveness, and understand what are the strengths and the weaknesses of the program. This report also includes recommendations from the participants about areas that can still be further developed to assist beginning teachers. [For the 2013 report, see ED627310.
