The Impact of State Policy on Induction Program Implementation

A new NTC policy paper explores the relationship between state teacher induction policies and local program implementation. New Teacher Excellence: The Impact of State Policy on Induction Program Implementation examines reasons for differences in induction program implementation within three states: California, Hawaii and Illinois. The paper provides conclusions about the impact of state policy on local program design, implementation, and overall quality, and identifies local factors, including leadership support, budget constraints, and contextual challenges that influence the growth and sustainability of local teacher support program.

Does your state have policy to speak to induction?  What are the strengths? Challenges?
