Teacher Induction
Burbank Unified School District’s Teacher Induction program serves to develop the habits, skill sets, and professional dispositions of our newest teachers. Designed to provide a robust web of job-embedded supports, our induction program provides new teachers with mentoring, professional development, and extensive opportunities for reflection and growth under the guidance of highly qualified and trained mentors. This two year experience features inquiry based learning, the development of individualized learning plans, the collection of artifacts to show the impact of their work, and the chance to demonstrate their competencies in the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Upon completion of the program, our new teachers are prepared to create safe, engaging, and equitable classrooms where all learners will thrive.
California teachers who have earned their preliminary teaching credential have five years to earn their Clear Single or Multiple Subject Credential. The process by which a new teacher earns the clear credential is by completing a two year, state-approved & accredited induction program. Burbank Unified School District is proud to offer this program for its new teachers at no cost to employees.
