New Teacher Induction

Overview

Teacher Induction Programs
From alt-prep to classroom ready

Alternatively prepared or licensed teachers may have strong math and science knowledge, experience in business and a strong drive to teach ─ yet lack teaching skills or classroom confidence.

SREB’s induction programs support early-career teachers who come to the profession through a route other than an undergraduate degree in education. Backed by research on what works, these targeted programs build new teachers’ skills through intensive summer instruction, professional learning sessions, on-the-job coaching, mentoring with experienced teaching, and support from school leaders. 

Participants learn what great teachers do and how they do it, including: 

  • How to plan instruction to be ready for the first day, first week and first semester
  • How to create a positive learning culture
  • How to personalize instruction and plan real-world assignments
  • How to engage, motivate and support students
  • How to assess student learning
