Teacher Induction Program
The Tri-County Teacher Induction Program (TIP) aspires to create a collaborative learning community that is committed to the ongoing growth and retention of new and veteran teachers while promoting habits of equity and effective instruction. New teachers (candidates) who have been issued a preliminary teaching credential will be provided one-on-one support by a trained mentor teacher who has knowledge and experience in the candidate's grade or subject level. Support includes just-in-time needs as well as guided reflection on daily teaching practices. Four inquiry cycles are completed over the two year journey with the teacher documenting reflections on daily practices of teaching in an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) while focusing on a job-embedded goal based on a standard from the California Standard of the Teaching Profession (CSTP). The foundation of the ILP is the Cycle of Inquiry (Plan, Teach/Assess, Reflect, Apply). By engaging in self-reflection, goal-setting, analysis of student data, and implementation of effective instruction, each candidate develops a unique style of his own. In addition, candidates are provided opportunities for professional development and networking with peers.
Teacher induction begins in the first year of teaching (Precondition 1).
