2011 INTC Conference: Illinois Student Teachers' Successful Transition into First Year of Teaching

This .pdf resource is from a Critical Issue session at the 6th Annual Illinois New Teacher Collaborative Induction and Mentoring Conference entitled "Continuing the Continuum."

Illinois Student Teachers’ Successful Transition into First Year of Teaching. Ken Jerich, Professor, Illinois State University; Elizabeth Wilkins, Professor, Northern Illinois University.
With 30-50% of beginning teachers leaving the profession in the first five years of teaching, the need to examine new teacher induction and self efficacy is prudent. As a result of these attrition rates, teacher educators have begun to more closely examine the transition from preservice into inservice teaching. For this presentation, teacher educators from three different state universities collaborated in order to better understand what student teachers know about induction, with the goal being to develop and deliver pre-induction curricula for preservice teachers and to share those ideas with teacher educators in order to improve retention rates.
