In 2020, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) created emergency licensure to help address teacher vacancies and shortages in Massachusetts districts and schools. Alternatively licensed novice teachers like those who are issued emergency licensure or provisional licensure are entering the classroom with limited formal preparation, making induction and mentoring a critical support. Induction and mentoring has been found to improve the retention of novice teachers. Districts and schools looking to retain emergency and initially licensed teachers will need to implement differentiated induction and mentoring programs. DESE currently administers an annual survey on induction and mentoring programming with the goal of gathering induction and mentoring local program information to identify promising practices and needed supports and resources for growth and improvement. With the current increase in emergency and provisionally licensed teachers, it was important to revisit the survey to better understand if it is collecting the right information to support districts and schools.
