The focus of this paper is the entry to the school practices by novice teachers. Difficulties in the teaching of novice teachers were observed and critical events of the first year in the school environment are described. Critical events are viewed through statements of novice teachers in interviews and in diaries of teachers. Teachers kept diaries throughout the first year in the primary school. The paper offers authentic statements of teachers and analyses problem situations in adaptation of teachers in the school terrain.

Keywords: novice teacher, critical events, diaries of teachers, adaptation of teachers in the school terrain
