The mentoring assigned date can be the date that Keith receives an email from the supervisor selecting a mentor.

If a mentor was not assigned for an extended period of time, the inductee's induction period will be based on their date of hire.

If you are retiring, please turn in your log and checklist the last week that you are working.

It really helps to read the Q and A in the IU 1 Staff Induction Section found under Instructional Support Services

Inductees are responsible for completing the extra contracted days. IF graduate classes or other activities are held on the same night as induction sessions, the inductee will need to attend the required inductee sessions. The sessions should be completed within three years, but extensions to complete the work can be granted. Action plans must be completed at the end of each year indicated courses that will be made up.

The supervisor and the inductee will meet after the year three presentations to review the 3rd year portfolio and complete the checklist. It is the inductees responsibility to send the completed checklist with the sign off from the supervisor that the portfolio was acceptable, the completed inductee log and any files to Keith Golebie. Once all classes are complete and the portfolio, checklist, and log completed, Keith will mark the induction program completed in the database and forward an induction certificate to the inductee. Keith will send the certificates for the inductees who completed their presentations and all of their work in April 2008 by March 1, 2009. The supervisors were reviewing portfolios and checklists for the first time in May 2008 and not all files were returned to Keith. Starting in 2009, the certificates will be issued monthly and the induction database will be updated monthly.

Third year portfolio questions can be addressed to your supervisor or mentor. The guidelines are posted on the IU 1 website under IU 1 staff induction.

Third year inductees who present in April 2009 will be the last cohort who may have third year projects. No third year projects are required, but a few inductees had already set project goals before the new inductee schedule was approved.

Mentors receive a stipend for each inductee if they complete all of the mentor requirements for each inductee.

It is hoped that mentors will mentor for three years. Some mentors may mentor for only one year.

It is an individual choice to mentor if you are retiring within the three year period.

All mentors must complete the mentoring orientation once.

Mentors must have completed induction.

Tenure is earned after three years of teaching with Intermediate Unit 1. Tenure may occur before induction is completed.**
