The Guidelines were endorsed by all Ministers for Education on 21 July 2016. They set out a nationally consistent approach to ensure quality induction and support for beginning teachers as they navigate their first years in the profession.
The Guidelines are based on rigorous stakeholder consultation and research into what effective induction is, why it matters, the conditions for good induction, the focus for induction, the strategies that are most effective, and the roles played by various agencies and individuals in managing and delivering induction programs.
The Guidelines are an excellent starting point for school leaders and teachers to apply effective induction approaches in their schools.
