The Illinois Induction Program Continuum
“From the outset, our goal has been to craft a useful
document that will prompt both thinking and action
around the professional needs of new teachers in the state. Our aim is for this document to be used as a formative assessment tool as opposed to a summative assessment tool. In that regard, this document may be used effectively to promote program development through a cycle of continuous improvement.”
