The Importance of Beginning Teacher Instruction in Your School, 7(21)

Abstract

This article is review of the literature surrounding the issues of induction with a strong focus on mentoring in specific educational contexts. The article discusses the issues school communities face as they examine the ways induction programs are implemented, decide what type of information to include in such programs, and discern the effect such programs have on teacher retention. This perspective is particularly valuable as more and more induction programs become mandated at the state and national levels.
