Induction & Peer Coaching

Induction is a two-year, individualized, job-embedded system of mentoring, support, and professional learning for preliminary credential holders. Upon successful completion of the Induction Program, Candidates will earn their California Clear Credential.

The Induction Program supports each Candidate in developing an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) designed solely for the professional growth and development along the continuum of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP).

Throughout this program, Candidates receive individualized support, advanced professional development, and 1:1 mentoring from an experienced, veteran teacher.

The Tracy Unified Induction Program is a fully accredited program through the California Department of Education (CDE) and the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).

The TUSD Induction Program provides collaborative, individualized support for all Induction Candidates through an inquiry process in order to support teachers in their growth along the continuum of teaching practices. We develop self-reflective, positive thinking teachers who engage in collaboration and focus on student achievement.

To participate, teachers must meet the following credential and employment requirements:

• Multiple Subject, Single Subject, or Education Specialist Preliminary Credential
• Out of state credential with less than two years of contracted teaching experience
• Employment in a certificated teaching assignment in Tracy Unified School District
