Tehama Teacher Induction Program
Induction News and Updates for October 2023
ποΈ A MESSAGE FROM DR. JILLIAN DAMON
We are so grateful to have the opportunity to work with mentors and candidates across the North State. A unique feature of our program is that each mentor and candidate pair is assigned a coach who is trained to support them. The candidate, mentor, and coach meet as a team each semester to support the development of the candidate's Individualized Learning Plan (ILP). While the candidate is making growth toward their personalized learning goal, the mentor is also continuing to build their mentoring capacity. When teachers work closely together they see each other as valued team members in their school community and there is greater consistency across site and district.
What does the research say? "Mentors help prevent teacher attrition and improve job satisfactionβand thereβs new evidence that they can boost student learning too (Terada, 2017)."
As always, our office is here to be of service. Please reach out if there is anything we can do to support you.
Jillian
πΌ INDUCTION UPDATES AND RESOURCES
We created VIDEO TUTORIALS and support documents that are embedded in the new ILP form. Year 2 Candidates can access the resources on the resource page of the CANDIDATE WEBSITE and our YouTube Playlist. Mentors can find the resources on the MENTOR WEBSITE.
Governor Newsom signed SB 114 on July 10, 2023, which exempts preliminary credential holders who received a TPA deferral as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic from having to complete a TPA upon the completion of Commission-approved teacher induction program on or before June 30, 2025. The candidate will still need to complete any other renewal codes attached to their credentials.
For more information, please see PSA 23-05.

Coach Collaboratives are in the works. We are proud to work with a team of amazing coaches who offer 1-1 support for all of our candidates and mentors! Our coaches make our program stand out!
"I can not express how much I appreciated the coach collaborative meeting tonight with Lori. She answered all our questions and helped me with some difficult questions I had. I am already so excited about learning about how much I still need to learn! Thank you to the whole TTIP team for all you are doing for us and especially Lori for taking us under her wing!" - Christina Clayton
