These novices identified socially-oriented coping resources (i.e. social relationships in the presence of or without a teacher learning community) as the most effective in alleviating their teaching stresses, while looking to their own experiences and resources was also important, particularly those without formally organized social resources (such as teacher learning communities). These results suggested that novices attempting ambitious teaching do so because they have commitments that lead them to persevere in such teaching and are able to find resources to support them in those attempts. Novices with access to teacher learning communities reported experiencing less stress than those who built their own social networks.
