Induction Program
What is Induction?
The Induction Program was created by the California Department of Education in recognition that new teachers need support and mentoring to help them develop the skills critical to teaching success. The Induction Program provides first and second-year teachers with a structured professional education and individual guidance. 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. The Induction Program is the pathway from a Preliminary Teaching Credential to a Clear Teaching Credential.
