Evidence-Based
The Arizona New Teacher Support Program uses the evidence-based New Teacher Center induction and mentoring model. We also align this work with Arizona’s Beginning Teacher Induction Program Standards and Arizona’s Professional Teaching Standards. We invite Arizona districts, schools, and individual district or school programs or departments to join us in this work and build a culture of induction in their community.
