	<TITLE>A TLN Conversation about Induction and Mentoring</TITLE>
	<ABSTRACT>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'&quot;&gt;Members of the Teacher Leaders Network participated in a three-day focused conversation around this essential question: &amp;quot;Can we improve teaching quality through reforms in teacher education, certification and induction? If so, what will it take, and what role should teacher leaders play in advocating for reforms?&amp;quot; These excerpts from the induction/mentoring portion of the conversation offer a small sample of the insights shared by Network members. The Network will build on these insights to develop a &amp;quot;white paper&amp;quot; on the core elements of effective induction programs in 2004.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&Acirc;&nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'&quot;&gt;Citation: Teacher Leaders Network (2003). &lt;i&gt;A TLN conversation about induction and mentoring. &lt;/i&gt;Retrieved from the Teacher Leaders Network on March 3, 2008.
