Administrator Induction Program

IUSD Induction Goal  

Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) believes strongly in developing novice administrators by providing an experienced mentor and an induction program to support and guide them through the early stages of their careers. IUSD enrolls new administrators into the ASC Clear Induction Program within 120 days of being hired into an administrative role. An experienced mentor administrator, also known as an Support Provider Administrative Coach, will begin coaching and mentoring the Participating Administrator within 30 days of enrollment. Criteria for the Support Provider Administrative Coach match includes, but is not limited to, having a similar administrative position and/or experience.

The design of the program is based on a sound rationale informed by theory and research, is primarily coaching-based, and includes personalized learning.

The Induction Learning Cycle (ILC) is guided by 4 Essential Questions:

1. What do we want new administrators to know and be able to do?
2. How will new administrators demonstrate progress towards mastery of the CPSELs?
3. How will we provide "just in time" support and long-term guidance to enrich the learning of all new administrators?
4. How can we use the evidence of new administrator growth and efficacy to drive our individual and collective practice?

All documents can be found in the Participating Administrator's or Coach's Google Classroom.
