Abstract: Teacher turnover has been a longstanding problem, and the pandemic exacerbated the issue by posing additional challenges to teachers. This situation is particularly dire for new teachers who have the highest turnover rates and are vulnerable to such circumstances. However, there is a dearth of studies focusing specifically on new teachers in these circumstances. This study sought to fill this gap by applying a longitudinal and qualitative approach to examine new teachers’ perceived well-being and the fluctuating risk and resilience factors during COVID-19. Findings identified consistent individual- and contextual-level factors which protect or hinder new teachers’ well-being throughout the past two academic years. Practical implications for new teacher retention and the development of effective teacher support structures will be discussed.
