Induction Program Components For New Educators
All Massachusetts school districts are required to provide an induction program for educators in their first year of practice. The Attleboro Public Schools provides a three-year program of support that builds capacity in new educators and establishes a steady, high rate of new educator retention as new educators find themselves in an environment that cultivates continual growth and success for both educators and students.
Attleboro’s Induction Program helps new educators improve practice, learn professional responsibilities, and ultimately positively affect student learning. Attleboro also provides necessary support to experienced educators new to the Attleboro Public Schools and those Attleboro educators new to their grade, content, role, or school.
In the first year the focus is placed on policies and procedures, learning the curriculum and resources available, self-assessment, and identification of new educator strengths and areas for growth. The second year places emphasis on professional development and documentation of new educator professional growth. In the third year, new educators will attain knowledge and proficiency necessary to attain professional status, completing a portfolio of material documenting their professional growth in the Induction Program.
