The Rationale For The Teacher Induction Program (TIP) Cluster Level
For all graduates, specifically teacher education, the end of the school marked the start of challenging job. It is a great opportunity for the new teachers to be able to give back to the school children what they have learned in school.
The Deped is creating programs that will support our next generation of teacherrs’ entry into the pprofession. As educators and policy makers, we are recognizing the need for quality teacher education.
The Division of Laguna works with the school administrators and faculty in schools/districts to build induction programs designed not only to support our new teachers, but also to have lasting impact on classroom practices and our school communities.
Our ultimate mission and vision is that as beginning teachers exit their induction program, they not only value the support received from mentor colleagues, but that they value and know how to use effective assessment in their classroom.
We hope that they see the collaborative aspects of their induction period as preparation to their becoming an outstanding teacher and that they seek ways to support their school sites in being true learning communituies.
This program is a six-month period which started on October 16, 2008 and ended on April 13, 2009.
