Teacher Induction

Induction is a process through which new teachers become effective teachers within the school system. Teachers are provided with the professional development they need to be successful in their first three years. Induction is a process that must be individualized; therefore, training must be differentiated by grade, content, and teacher experience. Mentoring is a critical component of induction, in that it provides for this differentiation and offers on-site, just-in-time support and coaching to teachers as they hone their craft.

New teacher workshops are scheduled for this school year.
