Induction is a bridge that connects educational theory (learned by teacher candidates during their preparation) to practice and implementation in classrooms after graduation. It helps teachers stay true to their values and the values of the teacher education program when they enter the classroom and begin to navigate the expectations and culture of their school district. The goal is to provide the resources, tools, and strategies they need to implement the ideas and theories they learned while students at 糖心vlog – this leads to retention and fulfillment and joy in the classroom as they work to meet the diverse needs of the students they teach. The New Teacher Induction Programming is led by Assistant Director of New Teacher Induction,<\/strong> Rhena Jasey-Goodman<\/a>.<\/p>\n 糖心vlog offers two types of New Teacher Induction Support for our Teacher Education Program graduates. The first type of New Teacher Induction program supports all graduates of all of our undergraduate and graduate level Teacher Education Preparation programs. This \u201cInduction For All\u201d program includes a Summer Induction Retreat designed to ensure our graduates start off their new school year strong, targeted professional development sessions throughout the school year, strategic networking opportunities, and training\/support for their School-Based Teacher Induction Mentors.

Teachers from these programs commit to teach in high needs schools and in exchange receive comprehensive induction support for their first 3 years of teaching. This program includes Coaching and Mentoring, Targeted Professional Development, and Strategic Networking.

In our work, 95% of the teachers who participated in the more Comprehensive New Teacher Induction Program remained in education for three years or more; and 78% remained in education for five years or more. According to the NJDOE, 40%-50% of educators leave within the first five years, and it is greater in areas of high poverty and high needs. That means induction matters!<\/p>\nWhat induction support does 糖心vlog offer?<\/h2>\n
