 Teacher Induction Program

Teachers Clear Induction Program



 Introduction

The Placer County Office of Education (PCOE) Teacher Induction Consortium is a collaborative effort between 16 school districts, charter schools, private schools, and PCOE, and is a Commission on Teacher Credentialing approved educator preparation program. The two-year Teacher Induction Program enables beginning teachers to make a smooth transition into the challenging responsibilities of teaching. The Teacher Induction Program increases the retention of beginning teachers and improves learning opportunities for their K-12 students by providing extensive support and professional learning through coaching.

Teacher Induction, established by the California Department of Education and Commission on Teacher Credentialing, is based on the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. This model is designed to promote the professional growth of individual teachers and is used by beginning teachers with the assistance of an experienced teacher who serves as a coach. This mentoring relationship between the beginning teacher and the coach is one of the most powerful components of this program. Download and view the Teacher Induction Brochure
