Abstract | This paper: reviews research on beginning teacher induction programs, summarizing previous reviews of the topic; identifies various state- and local-level induction programs, analyzing best practices that exist today; makes recommendations based on the research and on best practice for state and local policy development and for program development and implementation; and analyzes current trends in regard to the future development of teacher induction programs. Research review results include such findings as: released time and/or load reduction for mentors and beginners is essential; training mentors results in higher mentor effectiveness; and active principal support and involvement is necessary. The discussion of induction practices details district-based programs, a union-supported induction system, and state-based programs. Ten recommendations for induction programs include: obtain clarity about program goals and purposes; provide a research-based, ethically sound definition of effective teaching; and develop and implement an effective evaluation component for the induction program itself. Several common policy characteristics include: clarity of purpose; appropriate time frame for implementation; and political and financial commitment at all levels. Trends in teacher induction include: renewed interest in teacher induction and connecting induction to standards, licensing, and national certification. (Contains 104 references.) (SM) |
