Fullerton Online Teacher Induction Program: New Teacher Email Subject Area Grade Level

This document outlines an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) for a new biology teacher, Jamie Richard, and their mentor, Jessica Hojnacki. The ILP identifies 2-3 areas of focus from the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP), including promoting critical thinking and connecting subject matter to real-life contexts. For each focus area, the ILP records the teacher's initial rating and a goal. It directs the teacher to attach pre-and post-assessments and data collection tools to evaluate students' progress. The ILP is intended to guide the teacher's classroom implementation and be completed after each lesson cycle with their mentor.

Directions: Your inquiry question should be concise and likely no more than 8-10 words. Your hypothesis should indicate what you expect students to be able to do after the lesson, and it should
be able to be evaluated based on your assessment plan. Note that Semester 3 requires an inquiry question that focuses on use of technology to support teaching and learning.
