Beginning Mathematics and Science Teachers: A New Study of Their Subject-Specific Needs and Induction
4. Results
Subject-specific needs are more wide-ranging and can be more pronounced than these induction programs or the research team had envisioned. None of the induction programs intended to tackle the entire range of subject-specific needs introduced in the prior section.
All induction programs experienced challenges in balancing attention to subject-specific versus general needs. Perceptions vary widely on the extent to which induction programs should or can address subject-specific needs, and when they should do so.
