Evaluation and Monitoring
GASD will evaluate the educator induction program annually and revise as needed. Achievement of the program goals and competencies is directly related to how well the program served inductees; therefore, acquisition and evaluation of participant feedback data is essential and provides the basis for program revisions and continuous improvement.
Systematic data collection on the educator induction program design, implementation, and outcomes may include but is not limited to:
a. Survey of participants – new teachers, mentors, principals, and other members of the educator induction committee – to determine levels of satisfaction and to understand thestrengths and weakness of the program. b. Analysis of activities and resources used in the program; and c. Aligned program evaluation instruments that provide quantitative and qualitative data (e.g., survey/questionnaires, individual and group interviews, and observation tools) todetermine the impact of participating teachers and their students. The results of program evaluation, the implications of new knowledge about teaching and learning, and the identified strengths and needs of new teachers form the basis for adjustments and improvements in program design for future years. Documentation of Participation and Completion School entities must maintain accurate records of completion of the program and provide a copy of a certificate of completion to the inductee. Evidence of successful participation and completion of the educator induction program must be maintained by the district/school leadership for each inductee, including any long-term substitutes. All pertinent records are to be available to support completion of Instructional I – Instructional II Certification as set forth by the PDE.
