But I would point to the fact that many
teacher preparation
programs don't offer future
teachers as much clinical training as they ought to receive — especially training in high - needs schools; that districts are by and
large not as effective as they might be at
teacher induction and professional development; that
teachers are generally under - compensated and specific individual excellence isn't rewarded; and that the policy contexts in which
teachers work are being constantly revised in ways that are sometimes contrary to research evidence.
The organization recommends that
induction programs should be «part of a
larger system of
teacher development, support, accountability, and evaluation» and should focus on «teaching practice and student learning.»
