{"product_id":"2940149100316","title":"Impacts of Comprehensive Teacher Induction","description":"The National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance within the U.S.\u003cbr\u003eDepartment of Education’s (ED) Institute of Education Sciences (IES) contracted with\u003cbr\u003eMathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR), to evaluate the impact of structured and intensive\u003cbr\u003eteacher induction programs. Throughout this report, we refer to the more formal, structured\u003cbr\u003eprograms as “comprehensive” induction. The study examines whether comprehensive\u003cbr\u003eteacher induction programs lead to higher teacher retention rates and other positive teacher\u003cbr\u003eand student outcomes as compared to prevailing, generally less comprehensive approaches\u003cbr\u003eto supporting new teachers. More specifically, the study is designed to address five research\u003cbr\u003equestions on the impacts of teacher induction services:\u003cbr\u003e1. What is the effect of comprehensive teacher induction on the types and intensity\u003cbr\u003eof induction services teachers receive compared to the services they receive\u003cbr\u003efrom the districts’ current induction programs?\u003cbr\u003e2. What are the impacts on teachers’ classroom practices?\u003cbr\u003e3. What are the impacts on student achievement?\u003cbr\u003e4. What are the impacts on teacher retention?\u003cbr\u003e5. What is the impact on the composition of the district’s teaching workforce?\u003cbr\u003eIn 2004, we issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to implement a comprehensive\u003cbr\u003einduction program as part of the study. The RFP specified that the induction program\u003cbr\u003eshould include several components that earlier research and professional wisdom gleaned\u003cbr\u003efrom practice had suggested were important features of successful teacher induction\u003cbr\u003eprograms (Alliance for Excellent Education 2004; Ingersoll and Smith 2004; Smith and\u003cbr\u003eIngersoll 2004; Kelly 2004; Serpell and Bozeman 2000).","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108967366896,"sku":"2940149100316","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149100316_p0.jpg?v=1763712037","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149100316","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
