//This website was created as a resource for administrators, new teachers and mentors of new teachers. In many cases, the same theories can be applied to new administrators too. // Inducting, mentoring, and connecting new staff to a district and community for a period of at least seven years increases the likelihood of retaining a new teacher. Research states that if new teachers stay in the district for ten years, they are very likely to stay longer.
