The evidence of teaching practice required by candidates in the Chino Teacher Induction program begins with the Individual Development Plan (IDP) from the candidate’s preservice program and is outlined on the candidate’s Individual Learning Plan and based on an overarching SMART goal that was developed at the beginning of the induction experience by the candidate and the mentor, with input from the employer, and are in alignment with the district and school goals and initiatives. 

• The candidate's SMART goal sets the stage for the focus of the teacher’s yearly professional growth goals, and outlines the criteria for the measurable outcomes

• During each inquiry, the mentor will collaborate with the candidate to determine an inquiry question to guide each cycle

• The weekly mentor/candidate meetings will also include the mentor assisting the candidate in accessing and reflecting on resources that aid in accomplishing the goals in the ILP
