Induction and Mentoring Program
The South Carolina Induction and Mentoring Program Guidelines (28 page pdf), provide helpful information to school districts in terms of planning and implementing effective induction and mentoring programs. The guidelines specifically address four critical elements: (1) induction and mentoring program leadership, (2) district programs for beginning teachers, (3) district programs for mentors, and (4) induction and mentoring program evaluations. As one of several important revisions to South Carolina's ADEPT system, the Induction and Mentoring Program Guidelines are designed to elevate the teaching profession by promoting support for beginning teachers and leadership roles for experienced teachers.
