' (1999) The major goals of Greenville Public School District New Teacher Induction Program are to build a sense of culture and to articulate the district's mission and philosophy. It involves a structured training program for all teachers new to the district. This training provides not merely an orientation to the district's organizational pattern, but also a framework of the district's vision for student learning and success. The New Teacher Induction Program (TIP) emphasizes five critical attributes that are the cornerstones of the district's vision: 1. Effective instructional practices. 2. Effective classroom management procedures and routines. 3. A sensitivity to and understanding of the district s culture. 4. Teaching as a reflection of lifelong learning and ongoing professional growth. 5. Unity and teamwork among administration, teachers, support staff, and the community. 5
6 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 6
7 Program Description Professional development should be ongoing, career long and very specific to the stages of teacher growth. Therefore, induction has no clear cut timelines. New teachers are inducted during their initial years in teaching and the training and support simply meld into ongoing career long professional development. The New Teacher Induction Program begins with seven days (two days for orientation and five days for New Teacher Academy) of intensive training in early August at the beginning of the school year. Participation is mandatory for teachers so they are required to participate. On the morning of Day 1, new teachers are greeted by the superintendent and members of the supervisory staff. The feelings of teamwork and collegial support are immediately evident as the new "team members" are welcomed aboard. Refreshments are served, pictures are taken, new teachers are organized into a cooperative group, and the instruction begins. The setting is that of a model classroom, with the induction team is representing the teachers and the new teachers are representing the students. The focus of training for the next seven days is on culture, classroom management and instructional strategies. No time is wasted as new teachers delve into instructional practice and learn how to introduce a lesson, how to teach objectives, and how to engage their students in active participation. Procedures and routines for the induction classroom are established, modeled, and practiced from the very beginning. Materials or presentations provided to new teachers include the following: A personal welcome from the superintendent A copy of the district's mission and goals District policies and procedures Curriculum and pacing guides regarding instruction Introduction of software used throughout the district Classroom management tips Day 2 continues with instructional practices. New teachers, in their cooperative groups, actually write instructional objectives and plan sample lessons. On Day 3 new teachers get a chance to meet all the other employees employed throughout the district during Convocation. Convocation sets the tone for the new school year. After Convocation, staff will go into their buildings and meet the staff assigned to their building. Principals will outline their expectations for staff for the upcoming school year and view the school s data. Based on this data, staff will set goals and strategies. On Day 4 training will shift to the curriculum. Teachers will be introduced to what should be taught (state and district frameworks) in the classroom. The pacing guides will determine what curriculum concepts should be taught and when they should be taught. To assist with curriculum and instruction within the buildings at the elementary level, Lead Teachers have 7
8 been hired. On the district level, Instructional Strategists have been hired. These individuals assist the teachers in learning the importance of structured bell work, routines, procedures, and serving as master teachers or instructional leaders. They also learn to formulate effective discipline plans with clearly stated rules and consequences. On Day 5 training will involve effective instruction in the classroom. Teachers will implement instructional planning based on the state and district frameworks. Other important concepts discussed on this day include: instructional delivery, classroom rituals and routines, collaborative teaching models, and technological resources. On Day 6 staff will review formative and summative assessments. They will learn the assessment cycles implemented by the district. On Day 7 staff will close out the Teacher Academy training. During the afternoon, they will go into their buildings and prepare their classrooms for the arrival of students. Of course, this is not the end of induction. All new teachers will be assigned a mentor. The new teacher and mentor will get together throughout the year and discuss issues or concerns. These meetings will be evident through the Mentor/Mentee Logs that have to be turned in on a monthly basis. Both the mentor and mentee must sign the form. If there is a need to model a lesson, it is done. Throughout the year the principal, curriculum staff, and mentor help the new teachers focus on strengths, weaknesses, and professional development. Monthly meetings are scheduled with the new teachers to address any concerns that they are having. These meetings can cover classroom management, effective teaching strategies, differentiated strategies, touchstones of good teaching, etc. During a teacher's second year with the Greenville Public School District, instructional strategists and lead teachers continue to mentor the new teachers. The lead teachers are considered to be master teachers who are given extra time during the day to work with the teachers. Instructional strategies, professional skills, classroom management techniques, assessment techniques, and policies and procedures receive continued emphasis. In the third and fourth years, teachers receive advanced training in instructional strategies, cooperative learning, higher-level thinking, and more. Instructional strategists will continue to observe and support these teachers. The district will award the mentees with a certificate showing the number of hours completed in the Mentor/Mentee Induction Program. 8
9 PROGRAM RESULTS 9
10 Program Results If we want the new teachers to succeed, then Induction should be a MUST! The following are desired results of the New Teacher Induction Program: Reduced anxiety for first-year teachers A higher-quality teaching force A reduced attrition rate for new teachers Increased student achievement A common culture throughout the district A common mission and set of goals A common professional dialogue among teachers, support staff, and the community A willingness to participate in career-long staff development Research shows that support for beginning teachers boosts teacher retention rates and teachers who participate in intensive induction programs are more likely than other beginning teachers to: Use instructional practices that improve student achievement, Assign challenging work to diverse student populations, Use new state curriculum frameworks, and Accomplish the goals of the curriculum. Without support, the most talented educators will most likely leave the profession. Students also suffer if new employees do not receive support. It should be noted that induction programs are not intended to overcome major problems such as assigning teachers to subjects they were not prepared to teach, over-crowded classes and overloads, or to develop those without potential to become acceptable employees (Huling-Austin, 1986, p. 3). Building Induction Teams Building induction teams should include the principal, mentors, mentees, and other support people as needed. The principal should: organize building orientation activities, including a thorough introduction to the school and staff, policies and procedures, and students; facilitate the mentor-mentee relationship; ensure reasonable working conditions; and formally evaluate mentees. Other administrators or support people can provide job-specific help to teachers and/or specialists. Mentors Specific mentor responsibilities should be specified and should include: 10
11 Facilitate a good start to the year Meet with the mentee regularly Model good instructional practices Observe the mentee Offer suggestions for improvement Provide professional and personal support Maintain a confidential relationship with the mentee Serve as a liaison Properly selected and trained mentors are critical to success of the induction program. Therefore, mentors should have the opportunity to meet with other mentors to discuss mentoring issues and receive training in: Mentees The purpose of the induction program and the role of a mentor Communication skills Listening skills Coaching and conferencing skills Effective teaching/specialist skills Problem solving Knowledge of adult learning and development All participants in the induction program, including mentees, should be aware of their responsibilities. Mentee responsibilities should include attending all orientation activities, seeking help when needed, observing experienced teachers/specialists, meeting regularly with the mentor, meeting with other mentees to discuss experiences, and evaluating the program. It is also recommended that mentees maintain a journal to develop the practice of reflective teaching. PD 360 will also be utilized for teachers needing additional professional development. They will be assigned lessons to view and must provide written feedback based on what they reviewed. They will then put the recommended strategies into practice. Evaluation The induction program should be evaluated at least annually and revised as needed. The evaluation should include input from all of the participants related to the achievement of the program goals, objectives, and competencies. 11
