The Fontana Unified School District Induction Program is a single district program that assists beginning teachers to earn a clear preliminary California Multiple Subject, Single Subject and/or Clear Education Specialist teaching credential. As the teacher’s employing agency, each candidate has the opportunity to participate in a comprehensively developed rigorous program aligned to their needs as described and assessed by the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. The FUSD Induction Program continues to be a strong support program that provides beginning teachers with a mentor who meets with them a minimum of one hour per week. The new program design ensures that all weekly meetings are guided by the program processes found in the teacher’s Individualized Learning Plan (ILP). Mentors provide “just in time” support as well as guidance to the beginning teachers as they plan, teach, reflect and apply new knowledge to enhance students’ and teachers’ growth and development. 

Vision 

Provide an environment where new teachers can learn, thrive, and succeed in improving teacher efficacy and ultimately enhance all students' growth and learning through action research aligned to individualized goals and support.
