Embracing Early Career Teachers: Getting Beyond a Deficit View on the Induction Phase

Tue, April 21, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Although teacher induction has received ample attention from research and policy over the past three decades, the approach is often rooted in a deficit- or remedial view. Although well-intended, this view stresses that early career teachers lack essential competences to deal with the challenges of the job and aims at remediating them. The contributions from four countries in this international symposium aim at getting beyond this deficit view. Findings present early career teachers as sense-making agents who represent rich networks and bring valuable ideas and practices to the school. The symposium thus aims at contributing to a more fair and balanced view on teacher induction.
