Unlike onboarding, where a school leader is hired and someone within the system helps them get up to speed or mentoring, where a trusted, trained mentor is assigned to support the principal within the first few years…INDUCTION is everything.
Principal induction, coupled with principal mentoring, are opportunities to put supports in place for your new hire. The research is clear, if we do not put supports in place, we will be less likely to keep leaders in their roles beyond just a few years. Induction is the key to insuring we GROW good leaders, from diverse backgrounds with strong local context!
