CEPA houses the  following William S. Hart programs:

Peer Assistance and Review (PAR):  PAR is a CSTP-based program with a goal to support newer teachers, out-of-state teachers, and affected veteran teachers with personal guidance, modeling, direction, and mentoring in the areas of subject matter knowledge, teaching strategies, classroom management, and overall professional competence.

PAR vs. Induction:  What is the difference between PAR and Induction?  

• PAR is a local agency, Hart District, requirement (HDTA Contract Article 26.1) and is not a component of the Induction Program.  HDTA Contract states that the Hart District "shall provide peer assistance and review to all first-year teachers in the District who have less than three full years of experience on regular contracts."

• Induction is a California State Accredited program that is required to Clear a candidate's Preliminary Credential.   As a state accredited program, Hart Induction is tasked to provide a two-year, individualized, job-embedded system of mentoring, support and professional learning that begins in the teacher’s first year of teaching.   

While some candidates may be enrolled in both programs simultaneously, Induction is a California Accredited program and your Induction work will never be used to evaluate a candidate's progress in PAR.   All Candidates in Induction, whether in PAR or not, complete the same program requirements to clear their credential.
