Induction Coaches are rigorously trained and highly qualified veteran educators who provide a comprehensive and systematic approach for supporting new educators through weekly mentoring.

Induction Coaches collaborate with new educators to make informed decisions based on research-based instructional strategies, analysis of student data, and assessment data analysis that is geared towards impacting student achievement, supporting and retaining effective and qualified teachers, as well as cultivating teacher leaders.

Educators assigned an Induction Coach can expect to develop their teaching strategies in the areas of student engagement, analyzing student learning, managing the classroom, organizing the classroom, and planning for instruction.

Coaching Goals are to:

• Retention Rates: participation in a structured and systematic induction process that provides individualized and personalized support to new educators each week.
• Teacher Effectiveness: continuous and intentional collaboration with full-release induction coaches with multiple exposures to a data-driven approach to instruction that is centered on the development of standards-based lessons, observations, and analysis of data in order to promote ongoing inquiry into practice.
• Student Achievement: engagement with deliberate and purposeful mentorship centered in promoting equity and developing standards-based instructional practices in conjunction with systems that analyze student learning.

HIGHER PERFORMANCE Induction Coaching ensures that new educators will be better equipped to improve and accelerate performance.
