This 60-minute webinar from the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) examines how strong teacher induction programs can serve as a meaningful response to ongoing teacher shortages. The webinar is part of SREB's broader "From Surviving to Thriving" series on transforming support for new teachers. Featuring leaders from the Innovation Project, Charter Schools USA, and the New Teacher Center, the session examines the challenges created by staffing shortages, including widening student learning gaps, increased educator workload and stress, and a growing number of beginning teachers entering through diverse preparation pathways. It also highlights elements of effective induction, such as program design, leadership, personalized mentoring, and sustained professional learning. The webinar offers practical strategies to those seeking to strengthen existing induction efforts or build new, high-quality support systems.
