Mentor teachers and the
participants involved in the induction program were awarded the certificates. In
2013-2014 123 mentors and 283 inductees were involved in the
Induction State Program. The Head of the National Center for Teachers' Professional
Development Gia Mamulashvili awarded the participants of the program.
It's worth noting, that
mentor-teacher is a person who has every right to train beginner teachers and
conduct lessons with the inductees. Only certified teachers are eligible to
become mentors. Mentors get a surplus to their salaries amounting to 250 GEL.
As for the inductee, in case of a successful completion of the course the
participants of the program get the experience.
The State
Induction program gives the beginner teachers the opportunity not only to get
the experience but to better plan and conduct lessons. The above mentioned
experience helps them develop their professional qualification. During the
academic year, the participants attend trainings as follow:
·
Orientation
training "Goals and implementation ways of
General Education";
·
Training in professional skills "Teaching process
planning, management and evaluation";
·
"To promote pedagogical skills of inductee teachers through
reflection."
The Induction State Program is being implemented since 2010. Works on
the renewed Inductee Standard are under way for the time being. It's worth
noting, that the Inductee Standard should coincide with the Teacher Standard
and legal documents.
