Preparing lesson plans for the first years.

I've been told that the first few years of a teaching career is very difficult. Settling down with the culture of a school, a neighborhood, a district, and all such things takes a toll.

The starting teacher has even more hardships (challenges?); learning to teach (student teaching's just the start) and building a toolbox.

The last is what I want to do the most here. That's the point of this.

Sounds good.
