Early Сareer Teachers in Educational Interaction: Roles and Barriers

Introduction: Young teachers play a pivotal role in transforming the educational system through their ability to innovate, adapt reforms, and foster professional collaboration.

Purpose: This article analyzes the roles young educators perform in the process of professional development and school transformation: creators, translators, drivers, and passengers. These roles illustrate how teachers can act as change agents, mediators between policy and practice, leaders of strategic development, or passive participants under systemic constraints.

Main Content: The study identifies key barriers such as lack of time, reform overload, absence of trust, and insufficient support, which hinder young teachers' potential in relation to their roles. Solutions are proposed, including time allocation for professional learning, the development of trust-based relationships, and the implementation of collaborative professionalism models. These measures aim to create a supportive environment conducive to the sustainable professional growth of young teachers and their active participation in educational transformations.

Conclusion: The findings hold practical significance for education policymakers and school administrators by highlighting the necessity of a systemic approach to supporting young teachers. The abstract provides a fresh perspective on the role of young educators in the educational system and outlines how to establish conditions for their successful integration and development.
