Introduction
This study aims to evaluate the Level of Readiness of newly Hired Teachers
at Janosa National High School who have completed practice teaching
courses. By examining their preparedness in key areas such as lesson
delivery, classroom management and student management study seeks to
identify strengths and areas for improvement. The findings will provide
valuable insights for the school administration to refine their introduction
programs and support mechanisms ultimately enhancing the overall
educational experience for students
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This study is hinged from the Social Learning Theory , which focuses on the
learning that occurs within a social context. It considers that people learn
from one another; via observation, imitation, and modeling. Among others,
Albert Bandura is considered the leading proponent of this theory. Bandura’s
social learning theory (1977) emphasizes the importance of observing and
modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others.
Bandura states that learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention
hazardous if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to
inform them on what to do. Most human behavior is learned observationally
through modeling. From observing others, one forms an idea of how new
behaviors are performed, and on later occasions, this coded information
serves as a guide for action (Anchor and Duguryil, 2014). Aligned with social
learning theory is the mutual benefit model developed by Zey (1984), drawn
from the social exchange theory. Zey (1984) pointed out that in the
university setting, the mentor and mentee enter into a relationship in order
to meet certain needs, and the relationship continues for as long as the
mentees and mentors continue to benefit from each other. Another
foundation of this study is the concept of lifelong learning. Pastuović (2006)
pointed out that lifelong learning is closely linked to the concept of a learning
society, and the concept of “knowledge society” further claims that learning
must be a lifetime process. Given the fact that enrolling in different school
programs is not always possible through a whole lifetime, gaining knowledge
and learning has to become available outside the school system per se, and
it has to be available to all people regardless of their previous education and
business rank. In other words, the concept of lifelong learning has to enable
meaningful education harmonized with one’s professional and personal
life.Thus, the study was framed within the context of Bandura’s Social
Learning theory (1977); Zey’s (1984) Mutual Benefit Model, and Pastuović’s
(2006) Concept of Lifelong Learning. As the newly hired teachers observe the
teaching of the serving teachers, they can model the teaching strategies of
the veteran teacher. The dis relationship can help the newly hired teacher to
be effective. Strategies consistent with social learning theories include
mentoring, apprenticeship, on the job training, and internships. Each involves
learning in a social situation whereby novice learner’s model more
experienced teachers or co-workers (Skamp and Mueller, 2001 Hobson,
Ashby, Malderez, and Tomlinson (2009) used the mutual benet model as a
framework for teacher induction and teacher mentoring interchangeably.
The model suggested elements to compose a neophyte teacher mentoring
program to include orientation sessions, conversations with faculty
colleagues, conference meetings with supervisors, capacity building
workshops, workload reduction, one-to-one classroom assistance, and
mentoring sessions.To Mansilla and Jackson (2011), effective lifelong learners
are self-reliant and acquire higher-order cognitive competencies. By
promoting the capacity to learn and grow, learning and innovation skills
facilitate the mastery of other 21st century skills such as the capacity to
recognize perspectives, communicate ideas, take creative action, and draw
on relevant disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise to solve complex
problems. Educated workers in the twenty-first century need to be able to
understand and work with complex ideas and be able to evaluate information
critically. Other vital skills include the ability to discern relationships between
existing and new information, and between new contexts and goals, and to
locate new knowledge when needed (Gijsbers and van Schoonhoven, 2012).

Hypothesis
There is no significant relationship between the profile of the respondents
and the level of readiness of newly hired teachers in terms of knowledge of
content, teaching skills and attitude towards teaching at Janosa National
High School.
This study focused on the level of acceptance of the students and teachers
in Janosa National High School regarding the implementation of the program
which is being implemented. This study is interested in how the students and
teachers perceive the implementation of the students . The researchers
would also like to know the students’ and teachers’ perception about. This
research study is limited or focused only on the Grade 11 and Grade 12
students and teachers of Janosa National High School. Nonetheless, further
researchers may use another setting to check the consistency of the result.
Teacher Preparation: Insights from the study can improve teacher education
programs, ensuring that future educators are more prepared for the
challenges of teaching.
Student Outcomes: Analyzing readiness levels can lead to better student
engagement and learning outcomes, as prepared teachers are likely to foster
more effective learning environments.
Definition of terms
The following terms are defined conceptually in the conduct of the study.
This terms include the following:
Newly hired – worker who has not been previously employed by the employer
or was formerly employed by the employer but has not been employed for at
