Session description

Early career teachers often find themselves unprepared for the realities of diverse classrooms. This session explores a mentor-driven, job-embedded induction program that fosters growth through one-on-one coaching, action research, and personalized professional learning. Attendees will gain streamlined adaptable strategies to support and retain new teachers through a strengths-based, gamified approach.

Outline

Explore the key milestones of a beginning teacher’s induction journey. Through interactive activities, you’ll step into the role of an action researcher, tackling real-world challenges while earning micro-credential badges along the way. Walk away with practical strategies, a deeper understanding of the induction process, and valuable takeaways to enhance your support for new teachers. Don’t miss this opportunity to level up your expertise in teacher induction! In about 15 minute chunks, attendees will experience a virtual choose-your-adventure simulation as a beginning teacher, and earn a badge through an action research simulation incorporating resources from ISTE + ASCD, culminating in a reflection.
