Our Teacher Induction Program provides job-embedded support and guidance for beginning educators in their first year of teaching, who wish to clear their preliminary credential. Working collaboratively with a coach, participants enhance their pedagogical, reflective and innovative skills. We have full-release coaches who provide just-in-time and reflective coaching support.
