Induction - Fostering Career Development at All Stages
Janet Draper & Jim O'Brien
Reviews:
"Recommended reading for anyone concerned with induction and the support of new teachers. It highlights the variability of practice on the ground and its marginalisation as part of a teacher's workload but nevertheless affirms its professional and financial importance." Journal of In-Service Education, 2007.

"Central to the book Induction: Fostering Career Development at all Stages is the authors’ focus on the dynamic interchange between policy and practice and how (p. 73) 'thought must be given to the purposes, focus, management, design and process of induction'. The future of induction rests with the implementation of plans that are both realistic and funded. We live in a time where schools are obliged to maximize effective teaching, and induction plays an important part – challenging and supporting teachers to make measurable contributions to student learning while at the same time learning a new work role and navigating all the changes associated with a new position. Overall, the book is informative and thought provoking." Journal of Educational Administration 45(5)
