MPS New Teacher Induction
Professional Learning Specialists support new teachers primarily through the coaching cycle. This provides teachers with job-embedded, relevant learning experiences that target their immediate needs. Additionally, Specialists may support through planning sessions, video, resources, modeling or co-teaching, focused peer observations, and deep dives into the Danielson Framework for Teaching.
Teachers in their first three years of teaching are considered Probationary and are expected to participate in professional learning.
