Participating Teacher Feedback - Wednesday, August 07, 2019

Induction Participants responded to: 

When I started Induction, I wish I would have known...

"That Induction is not a chore to be done but is tied to my instruction and it helps me move forward as a teacher."

"That the process is not as daunting as it sounds. You are supported throughout the entire process.."

"How awesome the program is and how HELPFUL our Support Providers are. They are AMAZING!" 

"Induction is as valuable or as invaluable as you make it."

"I wish I would have known how much support there would be throughout the process and how much it would benefit my teaching!"

"That the program would offer me such a strong support system, created by both our mentors and fellow newbie teachers."

"That Induction would be one of the highlights of my first year and to not worry or stress about it in the beginning."
