Across Georgia, many school districts offer New Teacher Induction Programs to provide support to new hires. Locally, these programs may vary based on the individual needs of the communities they serve. Typical programming includes navigating district resources, managing classroom discipline, lesson planning, and mentoring.
The Georgia Department of Education provides guidance to districts on the components of a high quality teacher induction program.
