One of the most exciting activitiesf or me at the start of each school year is meeting hundreds of new teachers at the Induction program for new teachers to the Board. While it is energizing to sense the enthusiasm and positive anxiety of people beginning their career in teaching it is also frustrating to realize that as a School Board we are not providing the level of support for beginning teachers that we deem necessary. This is a consequence of the reality of the allocation of resources to school boards rather than a lack of desire. What forms of support would be helpful?
