Help for instructors

Teacher support encompasses resources, assistance, and systems designed to help educators succeed in their work.

This includes professional development, mentoring, instructional coaching, administrative backing, and access to materials.

The term also covers emotional and collegial support from peers: New teachers need strong teacher support to avoid burnout.

In policy contexts, it often refers to funding or programs that improve working conditions.
