By Annette Breaux and Harry K. Wong
New Teacher Induction: How to Train, Support, and Retain New Teachers, a major book destined to be the most significant book for educators this year, has just been released.
Written by Annette Breaux, director of the very successful Lafourche Parish New Teacher Induction Program, and Harry K. Wong, it offers advice and techniques on how to structure a new teacher induction program. It is
- packed with solutions from real induction programs, with their plans and activities mapped, step-by-step for easy replication.
- filled with contacts for over 30 induction programs.
New Teacher Induction: How to Train, Support, and Retain New Teachers, is a "how to" book that leaves no teacher behind. Some highlights of what the book covers:
- Specific details about how any district can successfully train, support, and retain new teachers.
- A district that lost only one teacher last year and is the adopted model for the entire state shares how to achieve similar results.
- Districts lose $50,000 every time a new teacher leaves the system. Read about a district whose entire induction program costs $50,000.
- Learn from the school district that has a four-year induction program and prepares its teachers to apply for national board certification.
- A district cut its attrition rate from 53 percent to 15 percent in one year; it now hovers around 7 percent. Its program is explained in detail.
- A non-profit organization recruits and provides rigorous hands-on training for exceptionally talented people to become urban school principals. Learn the structure of the program.
- A Las Vegas principal who has not lost a teacher in seven years reveals her methods.
