Teacher Induction for Effectiveness and Retention (T.I.E.R.) provides a school-based instructional support system for teachers new to the profession. The new educator support is weekly through a school-based T.I.E.R. Mentor, along with monthly support meetings facilitated by the T.I.E.R. School Liaison. T.I.E.R. is designed to be unique to each school, and is research-based with norms of inquiry and trust supporting new educators in building their craft.

T.I.E.R. Goals are to Provide:

• T.I.E.R. Mentors: for individual and differentiated support with classroom management, instructional strategies, lesson content and design, as well as formative assessment feedback for instructional effectiveness.
• T.I.E.R. Liaisons: who add support with school-wide initiatives, state and district information, school-norms, and organizational culture.

Who gets a T.I.E.R. Mentor:

• Teachers with 0-1 years of experience with a degree in Education.
• ESE, Electives, and PreK - K.
• Instructional non-classroom teachers such as school counselors, social workers, family counselors, and SLPs.
