Effective Induction and Mentoring Programs for K-12 Teachers |
| Tak Cheung Chan |
Abstract |
| This article is focused on illustrating a new faculty induction and mentoring model in K-12 and higher education institutes. Based on Edward Deming's Total Quality Management concept and the National Staff Development Council's nine professional development standards, the model starts with a continuous improvement component and ends in program evaluation. Implementing an induction and mentoring program for new faculties will help increase the retention rate of new faculties. For an induction and mentoring program to be successful, policy mandates and human resources need to be made available for support. The state-of-art and future development of new faculty induction and mentoring programs are also explored. |
