Teacher Induction

Ceres Unified School District is pleased to offer at no cost Ceres Teacher Induction Program to all district teachers who possess a general education and/or education specialist preliminary credential.  Induction candidates work with a mentor and reflect on their practice.  The Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) allows candidates to select areas for professional growth and learning through action research in their classrooms.  At the completion of Ceres Induction Program requirements, teachers are recommended for a California clear teaching credential (multiple subject, single subject, or education specialist).

Teachers working with a Provisional Intern Permit (PIP), Short-Term Staff Permit (STSP), or intern credential are also paired with a Peer Coach (district mentor) at no cost to the candidate teacher.  Upon earning a preliminary credential, these candidate teachers are admitted into the Induction Program.

Mission Statement

Developing effective teachers and leaders who use collaboration, reflection, and research-based practice to positively impact student learning and school culture. 

Vision

Schools thrive as communities where teaching and leadership together create equitable opportunities for every student to achieve their full potential.
