FSD Teacher Induction is the pathway to a Professional Clear Credential. FSD Teacher Induction is designed to support beginning teachers who have finished their credentialing program and have applied for, or currently hold, a preliminary Multiple Subject, Education Specialist, or Single Subject Credential. Our staff is dedicated to providing induction for teachers who hold or are working toward clearing these credentials in the Fullerton School District, Buena Park School District and La Habra City School District.

Our job-embedded program provides Clear Credential candidates with the opportunity to deeply consider the application of the strategies and skills that were emphasized in the teacher preparation experience. With a knowledgeable and experienced Mentor, teachers are guided through the inquiry process. The new teachers' professional growth goal is the catalyst for an individualized inquiry.

Currently, in the 2020-21 program year, the FSD Teacher Induction Program is supporting 43 Candidates. Of those, 17 are in their first year of Induction and 26 are working to complete their second year. With 43 Mentors, our program averages a 1:1 Candidate/Mentor ratio.
