Marin County Teacher Induction Program Update - October 14, 2016

As you may be aware, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) adopted revised General Education Induction Program Standards and Preconditions in December 2015.  This spring, our Marin County Teacher Induction Program was then required to develop a transition plan.  Our program had the opportunity to work with the New Teacher Center and our district leadership team to design our initial plan.  This plan addresses where changes will be made to our existing program and how significant the changes will be.  Because this plan is not binding, we will be able to improve upon it as the team sees fit.  In future reports to CTC, we will report on actual changes made. 

In the fall, at our October 14th leadership team meeting, we plan to review and discuss this transition plan.  Attached is an updated list of our current leadership representatives. Click here to review and let us know if we need to update your districts's representatives.
