Helping New Teachers Shine

Induction for the 21st Century Educator offers a comprehensive program to help new teachers adapt to first-year challenges and build a solid foundation for long, fulfilling careers in education. It is one of the only initiatives of its kind to be funded by the Illinois State Board of Education and is enjoying tremendous success throughout the state.

"Use the Induction for the 21st Century Educator initiative to become the best teacher that you can be.  This initiative will provide you with all the 'essential information' to be successful."

                          - Penny Sylvester, Mentor

"For me, having a (trained) mentor was useful in having someone to share concerns, fears and joys with."

                          - Leigh Coradetti, Protégé

Moreover, its proven methodologies can even help schools with their own robust mentoring programs. Contact your school administrator to see if Induction for the 21st Century Educator is available to you. Or, contact your local Regional Office of Education/Intermediate Service Center for more information.
