ABSTRACT
You’ve made it! Congratulations! All the hard work has paid off and now you are a qualified teacher, ready to take charge of your own class. All newly qualified teachers are required to serve an induction year, which was introduced to provide a solid basis for professional and career development. At its best, induction helps new teachers to show their potential, make steady progress in becoming effective practitioners and make a positive impact on the school's overall development and, in particular, the education of the children for whom you have responsibility. This chapter contains advice about achieving these goals.
