I need some leads in research that discusses the use/incorporation of higher education/colleges/universities/professors in public education induction programs.
I hope I am not stating the obvious or a platitude , studies on teachers' professional -envelopment and teachers' and students' identity formation at pre- service and in-service programs could encompass the induction programs .
I had to look at what's available on RG for this one. I hope you can find some leads in this link. Also, one of the gaps I find in public education induction programs is Classroom Etiquette for college students. Some appear to break with the discipline from high school and go to the other extreme of wanting to talk on mobile phones when they are not used in the class or make social conversations with their new found friends in total oblivion to the instructor.
A few years back the University of California at Santa Cruz had such a program that was being applied in many public school districts in the SF Bay area. May be a good place to start.
Hiya, I once wrote (co-authored) a book on student induction. It included a discussion of the significance of student induction and lots of activities for student induction. Its rather dated now but for what its worth, here are the details:
Bourner, T. & Barlow, J. (1991) The Student Induction Handbook (London: Kogan Page).
In my work, we have an elderly academy, which is, I think, a segment of public education of lifelong learning-kind.
1) It is located here in the campus, and led by an associate professor
2) Some of its program leaders/instructors are university students, and the Academy actually trains them. Hence, this training program is linked to higher education as well.
3) The activities generated are considered as knowledge transfer (KT) a.k.a. knowledge exchange (KE) between higher education and ordinary public
My suggestions is to take a look at my platform--myunearth.com This platform is especially geared to connecting the university to a school with knowledge sharing knowledge storage communities of difference and lots more. If your interested Ill get you in for free and all others that qwant to test the site.
teaching is an art. The type of training given during induction or first year teacher education in colleges and universities is the prerequisite of an effective classroom teacher. Even those who are recruited from Industry also need to undergo training in teaching methodology.
therefore, again please look at Moodle open resource/Access site and prompts should lead you to find and connect to all communities, be they K-12, colleges or university education.
Hello Evelyn, I would like to ask a few clarifying questions.
Are you searching for a teacher induction program which is partnering with a local university?
Are you looking for how pre-service programs prepare teachers to participate in induction programs?
Are you looking for a research-based induction program run through a public LEA?
I have managed a K-12 induction program in a local school district and now work with pre-service education in a public university. If you would like to chat about how these two programs work together in the learning-to-teach continuum, please feel free to contact me.
You can read "Aprendamos. Una oportundad para superarnos" in itunes. It is a tv public educational program linked to Universidad Casa Grande in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Good luck!
Have you looked at the new teacher center? All of their induction work is grounded in research. Here in California we have a strong induction program, however it is also a credentialing program. Universities and LEAs can be in competition for BTSA candidates. In LEA programs, the university partner is usually about providing credits for the work facilitated by the LEA. I would be interested in seeing the results of your work.
We conducted some research some time ago at our university that supported first year out teachers. The relevant publications are:
