During my transition to serving as superintendent, I learned the district did not have a mentoring program, nor did we have an induction program for licensed staff. As a district team of licensed staff and school leaders, we created a mentoring ad-hoc committee and implemented the Mentoring and New Teacher Induction Program and eventually rolled out a full mentoring and Induction program. The program was a yearlong, district-wide collaborative effort with representation by a variety of stakeholders. We were able to budget accordingly and appropriate FTE to ensure the program remained a permanent program for the district to support teachers to better support all students.
