The Teacher Induction Education Specialist (TIES) Program and the Teacher Induction Intern (TII)* Program prepares Education Specialists and District Intern graduates for the California Clear Credential.

The Teacher Induction Education Specialist (TIES) Program and the Teacher Induction Intern (TII)* Program incorporate:

• reflection and coaching which is grounded in the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTPs) and includes the processes of individualized goal-setting based on self-reflection and collaboration with the program Lead Mentor and school site administrators.
• an individualized system of intensive support from highly trained like-credentialed Lead Mentors, staff, and cohort members.
• a collaborative cohort model integrated with one-on-one coaching conversations, small group participation and interaction through the use of innovative technology such video recording, real time video conferencing, and more.
• authentic job embedded tasks and classroom-focused mentoring.
