What is High-Intensity Induction

Teacher attrition and support for novice teachers are impacted by quality induction programs. Induction programs provide support to beginning teachers through a job-embedded system of guidance and professional learning. Whereas Moir's phases of a first-year teacher framework outlined beginning teachers' developmental needs as a linear progression, the authors argue it is a dynamic process that occurs throughout the year. When new teachers are supported through these transitions with strategic mentoring and coaching practices, the transitions have less of a negative impact. Authors outline mentoring and coaching strategies to use during typical induction and crises to support beginning teachers in developing both resilience and self-efficacy.
