Content, Coaching, and Acculturation: A New Community of Practice for Beginning Teachers

该项目为圣马特奥县和奥克兰学区的初中和高中科学教师实施了一项以学科为基础的入门教师计划。在为期18个月的“概念验证”的基础上，该项目表明，将初任教师计划与内容丰富的学习机构和现有的教师学习社区联系起来，在新教师作为教师发展的关键阶段为他们提供关键的内容、指导和文化适应。该项目将在五年内与200名初任教师(教师将来自圣马特奥县和奥克兰联合学区)和150名经验丰富的教师合作。100名探索性教师学院校友将担任课堂教练和导师。另有375名教师将接受高级培训，他们代表着未来导师的人选。该项目包括形成性评价部分和总结性评价部分。入职模式将向全国90名专业开发商传播。

Building on an 18-month "proof of concept," the project demonstrates that linking beginning teacher programs to content-rich, learning institutions and existing teacher learning communities provides new teachers with critical content, coaching and acculturation at this pivotal stage in their development as teachers.The project will work with 200 beginning teachers (teachers will be drawn from San Mateo County and the Oakland Unified School District) and 150 experienced teachers new to the Exploratorium's teacher institutes over five years. One hundred Exploratorium Teacher Institute alumni will serve as in-class coaches and mentors. Another 375 teachers, who represent the pool from which future mentors will be drawn, will receive advanced training. The project includes both formative and summative evaluation components. The induction model will be disseminated to 90 professional developers around the country.
