Guided by the newly re-developed California Standards for the Teaching Profession, the Induction teacher self-assesses their initial skills and determines an area of focus to develop.

The Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) embraces the cyclic concept of PLAN > TEACH > REFLECT > APPLY with a chosen CSTP focus. The Induction Teacher will record a variety of strategies to develop their skills using the ILP.

Along with the ILP, Induction Teachers hyperlink lesson plans or agendas, resources used during implementation, visuals, student work samples, or any spreadsheets that track student data. Reflecting on the evidence collected during implementation provides the teacher the opportunity to authentically analyze the effectiveness of their lesson. 

Designing Engaging Learning Experiences (DELE) is a lesson planning template that provides a framework for structured learning experiences. Induction teachers use the DELE to incorporate 21st century learning skills, considerations for various student populations, effective instructional and engaging strategies, and assessments.

Induction teachers are provided weekly opportunities to reflect on their CSTPs and discuss any glows, discoveries, or challenges with their mentors. These just-in-time coaching opportunities are recorded in the reflective journal along with observations by the Induction mentor. 

Induction teachers document attendance at Professional Development events and connect those events to their CSTP development.
