Participating Teachers must hold a a single-subject, mulitple-subject, and/or Education Specialist preliminary teaching credential to be eligible to enroll in Induction.
Participating Teachers enrolled in the SCUSD Induction Program will engage in a two-year, job embedded system of mentoring, support and professional learning that begins in the teacher’s first year of teaching and will be required to:
Develop, create and link the required tasks to their Assignment Record shared with the support provider and Induction Office. The required tasks submitted in the Assignment Record will be reviewed by the Induction Office Review Team providing feedback on the completed required tasks of support using the Program Criteria Rubric and the ILP Rubric. The Participating Teacher has linked the documentation of the required tasks in their Assignment Record Sheet demonstrating evidence of the participating teacher’s on-going growth and development towards mastery of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTPs).
Create and implement an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) with a support provider, with input from my site administrator, or supervisor, and the Induction Program administration, that contains goals and objectives based on the CSTPs;
Reflect on and monitor progress towards my goals as outlined in my ILP and adjust the focus of my ILP as needed; Complete the annual ILP reflection cycle.
Collaborate with my support provider, site administrator, other Induction participants, and other colleagues.
Attend, participate in, and complete all required Induction activities, requirements and assignments.
Participate in the Inquiry Cycle Process (Inquiry Plan/Lesson Plan development, Inquiry/Lesson Reflection and Support Provider Observation), using the results from the Inquiry/Lesson to chart professional growth through further mentoring and training activities.
Complete the Support Activity Google Form weekly to provide reflection on learning as well as a basis for continued examination of professional practice and growth. The log should reflect no less than one hour of support weekly on average. However, total hours of support for the year must not fall below 36 hours (prorated based on enrollment date.) The above form will also be completed to record the participation in professional learning to attain the goals set in the ILP. If the Participating Teacher is participating in receiving the CSUS CEU Program there will be additional hours and specific assignment requirements to receive the units.
Demonstrating proficiency of the requirements for induction completion, as stated by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Providing feedback on Induction program effectiveness to principal, support provider, Induction administration, and advisory committee representatives (e.g. oral/written communication, surveys).
Respond to requests for information from the Induction administration in a timely manner.
