Full Description
Millions of novice teachers will be entering classrooms over the next few years. Unfortunately, due to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and unsuccessfulmany of these teachers will not stay in education. If we are to succeed in staffing our schools with effective teachers, educational leaders must do a better job of supporting these teachers early in their careers. One form of support we can improve is the teacher induction process. In combination with the book From First Year to First Rate, this book provides all of the material necessary to provide a comprehensive, systematic multi-year teacher induction program. Through reflective activities, teachers that participate in this program will establish proficiency with classroom management, professionalism, assessment and instruction.
