> What is our hypothesis?
 * What is the question (Darren 1)
 * "What are beginning teachers experiences with induction?"
 * New teacher do not find mentoring programs inaccessable.
 * They found value in their teacher induction program


 * Defining terms of reference (Darren 2)
 * Beginning – 0 to 5 continuous years
 * Teacher – someone holding a BC College of Teachers Certificate and on staff within a school
 * School – I will look
 * Induction – Induction is the support and guidance provided to new [|teachers] and school administrators in the early stages of their careers. Induction encompasses orientation to the workplace, socialization, [|mentoring], and guidance through beginning teacher practice. activity either offered.
 * Experiences – involvement which leads to struggles and/or successes in teaching
 * Who is it for? (Roz 3)
 * new (beginning) teachers - for beginning teachers to understand the support systems that are available/unavailable
 * veterans teachers/mentors (formal/informal) - for experienced teachers to understand how to support beginning teachers at their schools
 * school district because they are putting time/money/staffing into it - given limited resources, districts want to ensure that the people that they hire are feeling supported, will learn the best skills and stay on with the school districts
 * Administrators - to gain a better understanding of how to best support beggining teachers
 * Teachers - Poorly trained teachers are requiring more resources that is taking away from the classroom
 * How we are researching (Agata 4)
 * Research into what programs
 * Unions, School Board
 * Survey
 * Paper
 * Into secondary schools
 * Multi for prescribed
 * Open for open answers
 * Conceptual lens (Roz 5)
 * Ethnographic lens
 * Because we are looking at a specific culture group to analyze values and patterns
 * Action Research?
 * surveys - possibly interviewing sets of mentors and their learning partner
 * interviewing each other - do we need ethics approval?
 * Bias (Agata 6)
 * Personal experience with induction
 * We have experienced that the teacher ed. program does not adequately prepare pre-service for a teaching career therefore continued support is deemed necessary - not a bias - T. Ed program should help prepare you to begin the teaching process
 * We are looking at secondary teachers because we are all secondary teachers
 * We are looking at secondary teachers because we are all secondary teachers
