Aspire Teacher Induction
Program Overview
The Aspire Teacher Induction Program is tailored to support beginning teachers who have completed their credentialing and hold a Preliminary Multiple or Single Subject Credential. As the primary pathway to earning a Clear Credential in California, our two-year program provides comprehensive support during the critical early years of teaching.
Aspire’s Induction Program emphasizes reflective assessment, individualized mentoring, and ongoing professional development. Each teacher’s unique strengths and growth areas are recognized and nurtured, building upon their existing knowledge and skills. Through personalized mentoring, staff development opportunities, curriculum resources, and administrative support, our program ensures teachers effectively demonstrate and apply the California Standards for the Teaching Profession.
