The vision of the PUC Schools Induction Program is to support and develop beginning teachers’ pedagogical habits of inquiry, practice & reflection, and to develop a growth mindset, as they become competent, reflective teachers capable of preparing all students for college success.
PUC Induction offers a two year, job-embedded program to full time teachers who have a current preliminary General Education Multiple Subject, Single-Subject or Education Specialist credential and work within the PUC organization or a PUC partner school. All teachers are highly encouraged to begin Induction in the first year of teaching and receive individualized support to grow in their professional practice while guided by the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP), an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP), and an Induction Mentor.
See the PUC Induction Handbook for detailed information about the PUC Induction Program policies and procedures.
