27 Teacher retention

28 Looking at BC Induction and Mentoring: A Lifeline for the Next Generation of Teachers Mike Lombardi, Director--BCTF Professional and Social Issues Division mlombardi@bctf.ca The situation in BC In Canada-15-20 % of new teachers leave profession during first five years (National Graduates Survey, Statistics Canada, 2000). In the USA-up to 40% of new teachers leave profession during first five years. (Berg,Donaldson, & Johnson, 2005). Since early 70’s, literature has described work of teachers as “isolated’ and “individualistic.” (Lortie, 1975; Goodlad, 1984; Hargreaves, 1999). Common descriptors: “Sink or swim” “Profession that eats its young.” Goal Transform the culture of teaching profession from one that is individualistic to one that has collaboration and collegial as the norm. Possibilities Induction programs Mentoring programs Additional strategies Build on successful local mentoring programs. Learn from Ontario, New Brunswick, and Northwest Territories mentoring programs. Review the New York Induction Initiative and the California New Teacher Project and other successful programs. Opportunity Large number of new teachers 5 year labor agreement
