Good Practice Guide – Induction for Early Career Teachers
A planned and quality induction is vital to setting up early career teachers for success. We recognise that induction contributes to a sense of belonging and build a teacher’s identity and confidence to feel classroom ready.
The Good Practice Guide: Induction for Early Career Teachers is an online resource that outlines consistent and effective induction and orientation processes and is provided upon commencement with the department.
Professional Learning
A range of professional learning opportunities are available, tailored to the needs of early career teachers.
First Year Teacher Induction Program
The First Year Teacher Induction Program is a mandatory 4-day program that is delivered across the state, supporting you to develop classroom readiness and an understanding of DECYP structures and expectations.
Additionally, the program gives you the opportunity to build a professional learning network with other first year teachers and the wider DECYP community.
You are paid for attendance.
