This paper presents a general overview of the literature on beginning teacher induction as it has evolved over the last 3 decades, highlighting characteristics, extent, and perceived value of induction. The paper also describes successful programmatic features, gaps in the literature, and future trends in induction. After offering a brief history and definition of induction, the paper focuses on the basic components of induction, which include: general orientation meeting prior to the beginning of the school year; provision of printed materials regarding all aspects of school functioning; training on curriculum and effective teaching practices and opportunities to observe and be observed; mentorship; and release time and/or reduction in teaching load. Mentoring and release time are the most critical components. Evaluation and assessment of induction programs is very important. Characteristics of successful induction programs include: a coherent structure; structured mentoring; formative assessment; and sufficient fiscal resources and political support. University involvement in the post-university experiences of beginning teachers is particularly important (e.g., fifth-year internships and current induction programs), though research shows that less than half of local school systems have formal agreements for induction with schools, colleges, and departments of education.
