INTC Conference
7th Annual INTC Induction and Mentoring Conference
"Staying Committed to New Teacher Induction"
February 22 & 23, 2012
Hilton Springfield, 700 East Adams Street, Springfield, IL 62701
District and school personnel can make a difference in a new teacher’s career, even in tough times. Quality induction programs accelerate new teacher development and assist new teachers in their knowledge, skill, effectiveness, and professional development, which, in turn, impact student achievement and success. This conference will provide practical and standards-based ideas about induction resources, evaluation, program goals, and design. Conference sessions will help both established and new induction and mentoring programs improve, learn from other programs, and develop a network of contacts to pave the way for new teachers’ success.
