What I plan to study-Marie Foley

Which areas of Induction do we do well in our school? Support and Collaboration

How do we know we do this well? Feedback from former new educators, feedback from administration, feedback from instructional coaches

What areas of Induction need improvement? Accountability

Which areas of Induction would I like to know more about? How can I help increase effective communication among support groups regarding professional development for new educators and instructional coaches?

Which questions about Induction do I currently have?
What communication media other than face to face meetings can be used to for members of the induction team to be in alignment in meeting the needs of new educators?
Currently the induction team includes the eight instructional coaches who attended last summer's instructional coach professional development. How do I include a broader representation of support groups? Which groups/roles should be represented?
How do we identify the needs of new educators, develop a written plan for meeting these needs and prioritize these steps to most effectively address a schoolwide professional development?
How do we know our plan is working to increase communication among support groups?
What data do we collect to measure if our communication is increasing? How do we collect this data?
How do we know if we need to implement change?
