It is that time of the year that districts begin to examine hiring needs for the next school year and addressing positions that are open due to retirements or teachers leaving. This is also a good time to reflect on the retention practices that have occurred this year to assist and integrate early career teachers into your district. Much has been written about induction programs and mentoring in schools across the country. This presentation reviews the latest data on teacher retention in the state, as well as as examines what literature tells us about effective teacher retention programs. Much of the induction program information you will find here comes from renowned educational consultant Harry Wong, the author of "The First Days of School". If you would like more information on the induction programs and features discussed feel free to email me at kylie.stewart@greenbush.org.
