Teacher Induction

TEACHER INDUCTION

The Corona-Norco Unified School District Teacher Induction Program is approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and serves Multiple Subject, Single Subject and Special Education Teachers. The program assigns a mentor to each new candidate within the first 30 days of employment and provides two years of weekly (one hour minimum) mentoring/coaching that is job embedded and based on the individual needs of new teachers, as identified through their self-assessment using the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP). From this assessment, new teachers develop, with their mentor, professional growth goals and select learning options that support the development of their Individual Learning Plans (ILP) within 60 days of starting the program. The ILP is designed and implemented solely for the purpose of professional growth and development of the Participating Teacher and not for evaluation for employment purposes.

During their first and second year of Induction, teachers participate in cycles of Inquiry that include the Plan, Teach, Reflect and Apply Cycle and that focus on their specific areas of growth. All beginning teachers hired in CNUSD are eligible to participate in this program to clear their teaching credentials if they have a Certificate of Clearance and a Preliminary Teaching Credential.

Teacher Induction Program Vision:  Vision: The CNUSD program vision is “to create and retain reflective practitioners who are committed to the success of all students and seek to be life-long learners through the inquiry process.” This vision is foundational in providing each first and second year Participating Teacher with individualized one-on-one weekly mentoring and support during the two years of the Induction Program.
