Is induction ‘the solution’ to early career teacher retention

Quality Teaching Rounds are examined as a manageable and well researched response to the challenges schools face in inducting and retaining early career teachers.

Each new year a challenge which many schools face is the very problematic and ongoing issue of teacher retention and induction. The importance of induction for early career teachers is acknowledged as an important factor in teacher retention. The authors discuss this issue, recognising the diversity of induction practices for early career teachers across schools and the many challenges educational communities face in providing valuable experiences. One possible solution is suggested, Quality Teaching Rounds. This is examined as a manageable and well researched response to the challenges schools face.
