New Hampshire Classroom Educator Survey

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful input...

A premise and some operational definitions regarding what this survey is referring to as “Induction through Mentoring”.

The Purpose of Induction through Mentoring:

- Teacher and leader development occurs on a continuum that spans the entire career of an educator.

- Mentoring through Induction activities facilitate the pre-service to in-service transition for new educators and/or support teachers in new assignments (school site, grade level, curriculum).

 

Working Definitions:

- Induction is a system of coordinated and aligned supports designed to provide new educators with a supportive pathway into the profession.

- Mentoring is one-on-one support and feedback provided by an experienced veteran educator to a new educator to the profession or change in assignment.

- Coaching is a deeper one-on-one support strategy, usually in the planning and implementation of curriculum, pedagogical strategies and/or student assessment.
