Teacher Induction
The Chula Vista Elementary School District believes in equipping teachers to provide quality educational experiences for all students because each child is of great worth. The CVESD Induction Program is committed to the individual development of every new teacher as they grow and transform into lifelong, reflective educators.
The purpose of the CVESD Induction Program is as follows:
- Provide an effective transition into the teaching career for new teacher candidates in California by building upon the teacher preparation experience
- Increase student achievement by accelerating the effectiveness of new teachers through tailored support based on their assessed needs. Professional development will target our new teachers' practical and individualized needs. It will be delivered through various forms, including, but not limited to, one-on-one instructional mentoring and professional development opportunities.
- Prepare teachers to become reflective practitioners within the continuous "plan-teach-reflect-apply" action-research-based cycle, to refine both subject matter and pedagogical expertise
- Enable teachers to be effective in teaching students who are culturally, linguistically, and academically diverse
- Ensure the professional success and retention of new teachers
- Ensure that a mentor provides intensive individualized support and assistance to each candidate by developing trusting relationships that encourage and support teachers to self-reflect and grow
- Ensure that an individual learning plan (ILP) is in place for each candidate and is based on an ongoing assessment of the development of the teacher
- Ensure continuous program improvement through ongoing research, development, and evaluation
