The job description for the Induction Program Leader position is being created to fill the need for a full-time dedicated leader to provide oversight and further development of the expanding Induction Program. We have had an i3 Grant open for the past three years which expired on June 30, 2016, and has provided funding for a Full-Release Induction Program for new teachers. The program began with 8 Induction Coaches, and has increased to 20 Induction Coaches for the 2016-2017 school year. The i3 grant also provides funding for a "Program Leader"; however, no such role exists in the SBBC job descriptions. The job description was publicized for rule adoption in compliance with Florida Statutes on Thursday, July 21, 2016. See attached Executive Summary.
