| Abstract: | The article focuses on the challenges faced by new special education teachers (SETs) as they transition into their roles and introduces the "Thrive Guide," a practical checklist designed to support their early experiences. Newly graduated teachers Ali, Sam, and Quinn are highlighted as they navigate their first weeks in the Lincoln School District, emphasizing the importance of understanding school expectations, building relationships, and implementing high-leverage practices (HLPs). The Thrive Guide provides structured action steps across various components, including administrative tasks, classroom management, and personal well-being, aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and confidence of new SETs. The guide serves as a resource for both new teachers and their mentors, fostering a supportive environment that encourages professional growth and successful integration into the school community.
