Induction Into Learning Communities (New!)

"If America is to meet the needs of 21st century learners, we must move away from the norms that governed factory-era schools.... Transforming schools into 21st century learning communities means recognizing that teachers must become members of a growing network of shared expertise."
--Induction Into Learning Communities

Induction Into Learning Communities presents NCTAF's vision for new teacher induction into strong schools that support a career of continuous professional growth. The paper examines data on induction's impact on teacher retention and emerging information on induction's effects on improving student learning, and goes in-depth on models of strong mentoring programs in the U.S. and comprehensive induction systems in other countries.
