Abstract: This study explored the contribution of educational simulation to NTs[1] (new teachers in their first year of teaching).We analyzed 32 responses of Israeli NTs who attended the induction workshop at a university located at the center of Israel. The research tools comprised a semi-structured interview and focus groups. The research results illustrate that the simulation helps NTs to undergo a process of re-shaping their personal and professional knowledge- experiential-experimental, theoretical and practical. Based on the findings there is a growing chance that the NTs who have experienced a simulation will reduce dropout rates in the education system and promote their professional development.[1] Teachers in their first year of teaching
