Impacts of Comprehensive Teacher Induction Results from the Second Year of a Randomized Controlled Study

The study examines whether comprehensive teacher induction
programs lead to higher teacher retention rates and other positive teacher and student
outcomes as compared to prevailing, generally less comprehensive approaches to supporting
new teachers. More specifically, the study is designed to address five research questions on
the impacts of comprehensive teacher induction:
1. What is the effect of comprehensive teacher induction on the types and intensity
of induction services teachers receive compared to the services they receive
from the districts‘ current induction programs?
2. What are the impacts on teachers‘ classroom practices?2
3. What are the impacts on student achievement?
4. What are the impacts on teacher retention?
5. What is the impact on the composition of the district‘s teaching workforce?
