Why is a beginning teacher like a kaleidoscope?

 

 “Looking through a kaleidoscope is like seeing multiple images, thrilling but wildly unfamiliar, through a fly’s compound eyes.  A beginning teacher is bombarded with a multiplicity of images and experiences which at first do not coalesce.  It is the mission of the mentor to help the beginning teacher make sense of and grow into this complex vision.”
