If you are interested in either of these options, please let me know.

Unlike other programs, you can sign up for CTI’s Teacher Induction Program throughout the year. Our program offers two enrollment periods to prospective candidates to provide high-quality mentoring support to new teachers.

• • Fall induction is aligned to academic calendars for teaching assignments that start during the traditional academic year. The fall induction enrollment period is between March 1 and the third Friday in October every program year.
    
    
  • Midyear induction begins in winter and is intended for new teachers that are late-hires to their agencies and need to be connected with a mentor as soon as possible for success in their teaching assignment. It is also available for teachers whose preliminary teaching credentials will soon expire, or those who could not start their induction journey sooner for a variety of reasons. The midyear induction enrollment period is between November 1 and the third Friday in February every program year.

The traditional two-year track fee is $4,000 per year and the one-year Early Completion Option (ECO) track fee is $4,500 total. The fee covers a Reflective Coach whom we provide and will be matched to you by the content, and grade level you teach.

After you submit an application and are determined to be eligible for induction by the CTI enrollment team, you will be emailed a link to pay a $125 non-refundable deposit that must be submitted within 3 business days. The deposit amount will be subtracted from your remaining balance. Following the receipt of the deposit, you will be emailed a payment plan document that must returned within 7 business days. The payment plan will allow you to select from several payment options such as enrolling in monthly withdrawals, paying up front, or securing a loan with SchoolsFirst FCU.

After your completed plan is received, members of the enrollment team will reach out to you with all of the information you need to get started including a program orientation meeting date, instructions for logging into CTI Navigate (the learning management system you will use during the program), and an introduction to your Reflective Coach!
