We commissioned a number of research pieces to uncover current induction practices occurring nationally and internationally in both education and non-education settings.
The Annotated Bibliography focuses on induction policies and practices, mainly in education settings.
The Hay Group were commissioned to provide a report into best practices in education relating to induction of beginning teachers.

Cindy Harrison and Joellen Killion The ways teachers can lead are as varied as teachers themselves. Teacher leaders assume a wide range of roles to support school and student success. Whether these roles are assigned formally or shared informally, they build the entire school's capacity to improve. Because teachers can lead in a variety of ways, many teachers can serve as leaders among their peers. So what are some of the leadership options available to teachers? The following 10 roles are a sampling of the many ways teachers can contribute to their schools' success.
Five guidelines can build students' higher-order thinking skills. Productive classroom discussions—those that enable students to invent, create, imagine, take risks, and dig for deeper meanings—can only take place in a climate in which students feel safe to offer their ideas. Teachers can create such a climate by being mindful of the essential conditions of interactive teaching.

Leading for impact: Australian guidelines for school leadership development (Leading for impact), sets out evidence–based guidance to support a nationally coherent and standards-based approach to leadership development in all jurisdictions and schools. To assist schools and systems/sectors to reflect on their approach to leadership development, AITSL has developed two reflection tools, one for use by systems/sectors and the other by schools. The reflection tools bring the recommendations within Leading for impact to life by articulating what schools and jurisdictions can do at increasing levels to develop leadership capacity. By demonstrating progression across the rubric for each action, the school or jurisdiction can see what it looks like to improve their approach to leadership development and contribute to developing a pool of aspiring leaders across the education system. The tools will support users to reflect on their organisation’s leadership development approaches against the recommendations provided in Leading for impact.

There is broad agreement in the education sector around the value of induction as a support for beginning teachers, but less clarity about how to best implement it in practice. Early career teachers’ perspectives on their actual induction experiences provide important feedback for the profession and an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of induction practice.
There is a perception in Australia that there is a high attrition rate of teachers both during their initial teacher education (ITE) and within the first five years of graduation from ITE. If this is correct, there are implications for governments that fund ITE and staffing implications for education sector employers and schools. The impact of attrition may be the loss of quality teaching graduates, which could in turn impact the development of a strong workforce of experienced, high calibre teachers – critical for student outcomes.
