The stage of new teachers is a necessary step for every teacher's professional development; it is also an important period of teachers' professional development. So, new geography teachers have to undergo this painful and decisive stage. Recalling my own growth experience, although understanding some theories about the growth of new teachers, but the theory lets people have a kind of fuzzy feeling and do not know how to do specifically. Well then, how to tide over this key period of the growth of new teachers?I had a chance to use two years to experience the life of new teachers, during this time, many things gave me deep impression. In order to make more new teachers gain some gnosis from my growth stories, I used the narrative research method, it is one of qualitative research methods, qualitative research is good at describing the nature and significance of the phenomenon in natural situations and it can form detailed materials. Because of its close link with the human experience, narrative research provides a new way for education research.
