In CTI’s Individualized Induction Program, candidates engage weekly with a highly-trained mentor. Using 40 inquiry topics as a framework for mentoring conversations, as well as receiving “just-in-time” support, provides the opportunity to continually reflect on and improve their teaching practice.

Candidate's Journey

Our purpose is to provide a flexible, supportive,
individualized induction experience to all new
teachers through the mentoring of a reflective coach.

High-Impact Coaching

Candidates meet with an expert reflective coach an
average of one hour per week for support through focused
cycles of inquiry as well as "just-in-time" daily instructional
and management needs. Candidates receive targeted
feedback to further develop effective teaching practices
as measured by the CSTPs.

Job-Embedded

Candidates actively engage in job-embedded cycles
of inquiry by self-selecting a need or interest aligned
to a CSTP. Candidates develop a fluid Individualized
Learning Plan, reflect on their practice, receive
feedback and ongoing support from their reflective coach.

Continuous Reflection

Candidates strengthen their teaching practice by
developing a habit-of-mind of continuous improvement
through intentional reflection guided by their reflective
coach during weekly meetings and observations.

My candidate and I are having a fantastic year together!! Watching her grow as a teacher is very rewarding. I love the learning that goes along with coaching. I always look forward to your trainings. They have been very helpful.

Reflective Coach
This is a wonderful experience that I feel that I am also benefiting from. I am becoming re-energized through my connection with my candidate and also I am rethinking my lessons based on my interaction with a new and energetic teacher.
Returning
Reflective Coach
I like the idea about creating their own inquiry cycles. It's a great way to support and make sure it is relevant to the candidate. This new approach decreases the stress and increases the support for their continued growth within their job responsibilities.

Reflective Coach
My coach is really helpful at responding and adjusting to what I need in the classroom. She is also very active in my ILP process and guides me on track even through the eventful days of a teacher. She also takes what I say and connects them to the CSTPs to help redirect me to the teaching standards I need to reach.
