Talked to two colleagues today who joined the school at the beginning of the year. Both are finding things overwhelming. It's not the teaching, because neither have started actual lessons; it's the sheer amount of information they need to take on board and the number of things that are going on outside the classroom with which they are already involved.
The only consolation I could give was that despite my being around for quite a few years I was feeling challenged in a similar fashion. It comes with the territory. Cold comfort, I'm afraid, but the way things are.
