Teacher Induction Program


 

First Class Teacher Induction Program 2023-2024

The First Class Teacher Induction Program supports early-career teachers through a comprehensive structure of professional learning and targeted coaching. First-year teachers engage in professional learning sessions focused on classroom management and instructional practices. They engage in regular guidance with a site-based mentor. Second- and third-year teachers work with a virtual instructional coach to implement coaching cycles to set goals, collect evidence, analyze data, and reflect on instructional practices. Teachers who complete all teacher induction activities will be eligible to receive $1,000 stipends.
