Lawful Practices:  The San Ramon Valley Unified School District  recognizes it is the policy of the Induction program to ensure equal opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Purpose

Senate Bill 57 (Scott) allows eligible individuals to complete a Commission-approved professional teacher induction program at a faster pace than the two years required to complete the traditional program.  The intent of the law is to serve experienced and exceptional candidates.  Upon completion, a teacher will have met the induction requirement of the preliminary credential.

• Has earned “Meets”or“Exceeds” on professional standards-based teaching evaluations (minimum of 2)

• Has received site administrator’s recommendation to be considered for the Early Completion Option
  
  

SRVTIP retains the right to request any additional evidence that may be necessary to determine a candidate’s eligibility for the Early Completion Option.

1. Candidate discusses option with SRVTIP mentor and SRVTIP site liaison.
