Description
Getting new teachers off to the right start is essential for teacher retention and student success. This book shows the nuts and bolts of induction that really works.
Drawing on the successful, research-based SHINE program, the authors demonstrate the key components for setting up or tweaking your new teacher induction program, including involving different staff members, remembering that induction is not an event but an ongoing process, considering the different phases of induction and the support and modeling needed along the way, finding appropriate mentors, helping new teachers juggle priorities, and more. Beginning teachers often leave due to classroom management struggles; this book also helps you give teachers the basics immediately so they're set up for success. In addition, the appendix offers a wealth of tools and templates to help you cover all the bases during your induction journey.
Whether you're an induction coordinator, mentor, PDC member, principal, or superintendent, this practical resource will help you ensure your new teachers thrive so they can enjoy their roles and effectively reach students. When a program to support new teachers is made stronger, the accelerated growth and acclimation of new teachers can accelerate the growth of students too!
