Induction Program
What is Induction?
The Induction Program was created by the California Department of Education in recognition that new teachers and new administrators need support and mentoring to help them develop the skills critical to teaching success and transformative leadership. The Induction Program provides first and second-year teachers and administrators with a structured professional education and individual guidance. For new teachers, two years of support and reflective assessment are provided by experienced teachers (Support Providers) trained to coach on the use of the state-adopted academic content and performance levels for students. For new administrators, two years of support and reflective assessment are provided by experienced administrators (Coaches) trained to coach on the implementation of the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSELs) the administrators’ individual roles and responsibilities.
The Induction Program provides pathways from a Preliminary Teaching Credential to a Clear Teaching Credential and a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential to a Clear Administrative Services Credential.

Induction Vision
The Shared Vision of the Anaheim Elementary Induction Program offers an accredited two-year experience to clear a Single Subject, Multiple Subject, Education Specialist, or Administrative Credential. Our goal is to provide extensive support to Participating Teachers, Mentors, Participating Administrators, and Administrative Coaches beyond the two-year program. We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where participants will be trained, supported, and mentored using practices that are job-embedded, reflective, collaborative, and individualized that strengthen understanding and practice of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP) and/or the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSEL). Participants will be qualified to become just, equitable and inclusive teachers, mentors and administrators that embrace our diverse student and community population.
