Este libro tiene como propósito orientar a los docentes noveles de la etapa de secundaria en el inicio de su trayectoria profesional. Solo unos pocos docentes tienen unas competencias innatas para ser enseñantes, pero otra mayoría podría necesitar una guía para los primeros pasos.

Esta nueva etapa que se inicia es una oportunidad para ser partícipe de la realidad educativa y social que se vive en el nuevo centro y es el momento de iniciar la etapa docente con las máximas garantías de éxito. Para facilitar el desarrollo profesional y el éxito de los nuevos docentes hay que comprender sus necesidades y saber cómo se les puede ayudar para que lleguen a dominar su profesión. A lo largo de estas páginas se intentará explicar de forma clara y concisa algunos consejos e indicaciones para afrontar estos primeros períodos. Esta ha sido la motivación principal para la redacción de esta guía.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Together, these essays bear witness to the evolution and development of a body of scholarship about teacher learning in which the author herself played a catalyzing role.
