What is induction? The first years of a beginning teacher. Definitions
vary from 1-3 year after initial teacher education Beginning teachers are called: Newly Qualified
Teacher (NQT) Definition issue is quite difficult in comparative
analysis; in some initial teacher education there is so much practice that it can be seen as the beginning of the job
Induction activities can be: Mentoring of NQT Reducing task load of NQT (less lessons, easier class) Courses (theory) Etc.

Aim of the INNOTE project
to share knowledge about effective induction programs
to organize seminars and workshop to develop further knowledge about induction
to build a community network

Why induction? Drop-out rates among new recruits
25% during first 5 years, in all EU countries (USA: 50%) Teacher shortage ahead
In EU approx. 1/3 of teachers is above 50 years NQT’s face many difficulties in their classes
How to organize a lesson Disruption of lessons, etc.
New challenges for teachers More complexity of problems of students Higher demand for quality in schools, etc.
EU resolution “Improving the Quality of Teacher Education“: encourages the promotion of continuous and coherent professional development of teachers throughout their careers particular attention should be paid to the initial induction of
NQTs

What we know from literature:
Difficulties of newly qualified teachers throughout countries are similar (regardless the initial teacher education)
Different solutions and induction systems exist in various countries
No specific induction tool is known as the most effective (e.g.: keeps NQT‘s in their job)
Effectiveness research is yet poor, but a collections of induction activities seems to work the best

Research approach within INNOTE
Qualitative approach, explorative Compare countries via:
Document analysis: how is induction organized at national level Can we say something about the relation between
formal induction, initial teacher education and effects? Questionnaire for NQT’s how they are supported
during their induction time Collecting “good” practices per country
Countries involved: Czech Republic, Netherlands, Scotland (not similar as England), Slovakia, Hungary, Bavaria (not similar to other German regions), Finland

Differences in induction within EU (I)
Official induction vs nonofficial SCO (UK), SK: official BAV (DE): official, but depending on the
definition CZ, FI, HU: not official NL: not official, but supported by
government via grants/projects

Differences in induction within EU (II)
Temporary degrees after initial teacher education SCO (UK), BAV (DE), SK (adaptive phase)

Differences in induction within EU (III)
Government pays vs school pays SCO (UK), BAV (DE): government pays
separately for induction FI, NL, CZ, SK, HU: schools pay for
induction activities of new teachers they hire

Differences in induction within EU (IV)
Universities involved vs only schools CZ, SK, FI, HU: universities not involved
in general SCO (UK): universities involved (obliged) NL: universities involved sometimes (not
obliged) BAV (DE): specialized institutions
involved

Differences in induction within EU (V)
Effects on school organization NL, SCO (UK): induction more and more
incorporated in professional development schools (target of government)

Some preliminary conclusions The existence of formal induction in some countries does
not seem to be related to the way how teacher education is organized
There seems to be no relation between the length of initial teacher education and the existence of formal induction
There seems to be no relation between the amount of practice during initial teacher education and the existence of formal induction
No formal induction does not mean that there is no induction: in some countries there seems to be done a lot on informal level
There seems to be no relation between the length of initial teacher education + induction and learning results (PISA)
There seems to be no relation between length and importance of induction in a country and the number of drop outs

Annual reports The first report will focus on the current
induction situation in the different countries.
The second report will focus on good practices of induction and an update of the literature analysis.
The third report will focus on induction strategies and policies for schools and universities. This will derived from a second national document analysis and by interviewing stakeholders in each country.

Seminars INNOTE will organize three international
seminars about Induction, each with a different topic. The seminars are open for non-partners. Tentative dates are:
Seminar 1: What is known about induction and how can it be done. 29 September – 01 October 2010 in Regensburg (DE).
Seminar 2: Good practices in induction. 10-11 October 2011 in Prague (CZ)
Seminar 3: Induction as part of school/university strategy. 24-26 September 2012 in Groningen (NL)

National workshops In each of the participating countries there
will be 3 workshops organized around induction. These workshops will have a similar appearance in all countries. The workshops are related to the
Workshop 1: How to organize induction? Workshop 2: Good practices Workshop 3: Induction as part of
school/university strategy and professional development strategy
