The goal of this study was to determine the implementation and effectiveness of the components of two middle school induction programs. The effectiveness of the elements of these programs was examined through the perceptions of three participant groups – new teachers, mentor teachers, and principals. Data indicated that each element of the induction program – principal and new teacher interaction; mentor teachers; collaborative structures; professional development; and new teacher orientation – met different needs of the new teacher.
