I felt the same way listening to any discussion of formal induction. I have worked in a number of positions as a teacher for special education cooperatives, and the induction has been very inadequate. Special ed coops establish student class roles that are cobbled together from local school districts. Then they look to "rent" a room from some school. That program home can change frequently. So I show up to a district to teach, but I am not a teacher in that district. I've never been treated badly as an outsider, but I sure have been overlooked. The situation is not a good one: most of the students assigned to this classroom don't live here, the teacher assigned to the room isn't employed locally. Good luck.
The point it, I don't have to repeat mistakes. As a building administrator, there will be many things I can do to help support new teachers in my building
