This 50-minute webinar from the Southern Regional Education Board brings together state policymakers to discuss how strong teacher induction systems can improve retention, strengthen student outcomes, and support long-term economic growth. Featuring Delaware state senator and Maryland state delegate, who both have backgrounds in education policy, the session highlights findings from SREB’s teacher induction policy scan. It offers actionable recommendations for state and district leaders. Key themes include what effective induction looks like in practice, how policy can better support early-career teachers, and the broader economic case for investing in teacher retention. Teachers and school leaders can use this resource to understand what research-aligned induction looks like in practice and to make the case for stronger support systems for new educators. The webinar is intended for state legislators, education agency staff, and district leaders working to advance policy solutions for the teaching profession.
