Join us for an engaging 30-minute conversation where we’ll discuss the topic of new teacher induction and learn about innovative strategies for creating a dynamic beginning teacher induction program! Chris will share how leaders can be more intentional and purpose-driven in their efforts to support new teachers and share a framework for structuring beginning teacher support that not only aligns with your district's unique culture and values but also enhances your professional learning priorities. Drawing from his wide-ranging experience as a teacher, campus and district leader, researcher, and consultant helping other districts around the country start systemic teacher induction programs, Dr. Chris Summers shares insights, priorities, and practical tips (many of them found in his book Purpose-Driven Teacher Induction) leaders can use right away to elevate induction beyond mere orientation and compliance. Let’s help beginning teachers not just survive, but actually thrive!
