- Summary:
-
Research begun in 1988 investigated the induction process of beginning vocational teachers. Several research techniques were used in the study: nominal group technique focus sessions, focus group sessions, and individual interviews; daily and weekly tape-recorded logs and site visits; national survey; and exemplary induction assistance programs. Qualitative and quantitative analysis results led to the organization of a professional development program for beginning vocational teachers. Three major research conclusions were reached: (1) induction assistance programs must be flexible; (2) mentoring programs are the most common approach to induction assistance; and (3) the induction of beginning teachers should be a collaborative effort. A comprehensive induction assistance program should consist of 11 components: systematic administrative support; detailed orientation; certification courses; structured mentoring program; coaching in reflection; professional development plan; local professional development coordinator; professional development center; beginning teacher handbook; on-going inservice workshops; and peer support group. A model professional development center has the following elements: local school site; collaborative effort among school, university, and state department of education; operated by a full-time local professional development coordinator; funded jointly; and responsible for different induction levels.
