3. Collaborative Learning Communities: Beginning teachers are encouraged to engage in peer collaboration, sharing best practices and insights with colleagues to enhance teaching methods and foster a sense of community.
    
4. Coaching and Feedback: Instructional coaches are available to observe classrooms, provide feedback, and work one-on-one with teachers to refine skills and address challenges in real time.
