Reach Teacher Induction Program

The Reach Teacher Induction Program is a partnership with the Bay Area School of Enterprise and a consortium of charter schools.

After completing the requirements for a Preliminary Credential, this two year program will support new teachers in moving their practice from competent to exceptional. Through a partnership with the New Teacher Center at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the program will lead to a Professional Clear Credential. The program emphasizes personalized and job-embedded coaching. One of the leading causes of new teachers leaving the field is a sense of isolation. The Reach Professional Teacher Induction Program connects new teachers to a community of new and experienced educators through a cohort model.

About Induction:

Beginning teachers are required to complete a two-year induction program as part of the credential process in California. It is the Charter School or School District ’s responsibility to provide new teachers access to an Induction Program.

The Reach Professional Teacher Induction Program is a Consortium of Charter Schools. The Reach program is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentials and the California Department of Education. Completion of the program leads to a Professional Clear Teaching Credential.
