Improving teacher induction report

About

The Hay Group were commissioned to provide a report into best practices in education relating to induction of beginning teachers.

Section 1 outlines why school sectors and leaders should invest in induction for new teachers.

Section 2 discusses induction in the education context, focusing on its role as a formal program for beginning teaching, a phase in the teacher lifecycle as well as a process of socialisation. 

Section 3 considers the current state of induction practice in Australian schools. While there is limited data available on the effectiveness of existing efforts, it is clear that a lot is already being done.

Section 4 looks to the future and considers where to from here for Australian schools. School leaders do not need to search for new solutions, however they do need to consider how to implement the existing knowledge base in the context of their own schools.
