Objective of the study was to survey the young school physical education teachers’ progress encouragement initiatives and analyze their practical benefits.
Methods and structure of the study. We analyzed, for the purposes of the study, the relevant available study reports and run a questionnaire survey of 50 school principals from St. Petersburg and schoolchildren covered by the HBSC research program. We selected three most promising young school physical education teacher encouragement options from the following nine ones offered by the respondents: (1) special progress facilitating environments for the young teacher; (2) analysis of the young teacher’s social, personal and psychological traits, ambitions and needs; (3) young teacher associations; (4) innovative domains for the young teacher’s creativity and progress; (5) special provisions to facilitate the young teacher careers; (6) young teacher contests supported by the municipal and regional authorities.
Results and conclusion. We found no significant intergroup differences in the reported physical activity.
The questionnaire survey data and analyses found the school principles giving the key role to the welcoming and supportive school climates for the young teacher, with the innovative domains for their creativity and ambitions to facilitate engagement of the schoolchildren to the physical education service. These initiatives will be designed to encourage the young teacher’s professional progress agendas and mitigate the high emotional stressors to avoid overstrain and burnouts not unusual in the maiden periods and secure good adaptation to the teaching staff and school community on the whole. The young teacher’s adaptation options found by the questionnaire survey has been proved beneficial.

Keywords: adaptation, young teacher, continuous professional development.
