  5. Why Induction? The 1993 Education Reform Act [Chapter 71, Section 38G] and the Massachusetts Regulations for Educator Licensure [603 CMR 7.00] require districts to provide systems of support for all incoming and novice educators. The regulations place special emphasis on mentoring for novices, even making participation in a mentoring program a prerequisite for the Professional License.

  11. Role of the Principal

  12. Creating Networks of Support for New Teachers Principals’ support for mentoring and induction programs – particularly, those related to collegial support – also appears to play a prominent role in beginning teachers’ decisions to quit or remain on the job. Smith and Ingersoll (2004) found that those who experience such support are less likely to leave teaching or change schools. From Teacher Retention Issues: How Some Principals are Supporting and Keeping New Teachers, Journal of School Leadership, v. 17 November 2007, by Kathleen Brown and Susan Wynn

  13. Preparing for School-based Induction

  14. Best Practices for Administrators • Be explicit about your goals for school-based induction and invite incoming teachers to share their goals in return. • Share not only formal information about policies and norms but also informal stories that highlight the history and culture of the school and its community. • Be proactive: ask incoming teachers “How can I make your life easier?” • Encourage incoming teachers to be proactive: ensure that they know where to direct questions and concerns. • Treat induction as an ongoing process, with orientation as only the first step in that process. • Enlist exceptional veteran teachers, teachers inducted the previous year, grade level and department heads, support staff, specialist teachers, students, families, and community members in your induction efforts.
