Welcome to the CJUHSD Induction program!
Our Vision:
The purpose of the CJUHSD Induction program is to ensure that beginning teachers are equipped to provide inclusive, academically rigorous and innovative learning environments -- only through strong mentorship and impactful professional learning can this happen.
The Chaffey Joint Union High School District (CJUHSD) is proud to offer Induction for new and beginning teachers. The Induction Program is grounded in the belief that beginning teachers deserve thoughtful and supportive mentorship as they begin their careers. Research shows that when teachers are properly mentored in their first few years of teaching, they are more likely to be effective and remain in the teaching profession. A strong Induction program is a vital element in retaining teachers (Podolsky, Kini, Bishop, and Darling-Hammond, 2016). Additionally, new teachers need to be provided with wrap-around supports that help them evolve in their practice as well as address immediate concerns and questions as they develop as educators.
Using the CA Standards for the Teaching Profession, the CA Quality Professional Learning Standards, and drawing on the work of Elena Aguilar and the mentorship framework from Mentoring Matters, the CJUHSD Induction Program provides high quality, job-embedded, ongoing mentorship to all beginning teachers hired for the District. Professional learning is provided through the team of Instructional Coaches, as well as unique opportunities designed specifically for new teachers by the Induction Mentors. Beginning teachers receive one-on-one mentorship from fully-released Mentors whose sole purpose is to provide impactful learning and mentorship throughout teachers’ time in the Induction Program.
Ultimately, the goal of Induction must also be to fulfill our District’s vision that all students will graduate ready for college and careers. In order to do this, the Induction program’s goal is to prepare and retain effective and empowered educators who go on to make positive and significant contributions in the lives of their students.
