The voices presented within this book should help those of us who work in teacher education to gain an improved understanding of the impact on early career teachers of a teacher development model that assumes education programs are just one step in the development of teachers.

Canada in the 21st century is changing. As a nation, we are experiencing significant shifts to our social, demographic, cultural, technological, economic and political contexts . . . Unfortunately, many new teachers are unable to cope with these challenges, and drop-out rates are high. In this important new book, educators from many parts of Canada examine the issues facing new teachers and explore how early career teacher induction and mentorship programs might assist in keeping more new teachers in the profession.
~J. Tim Goddard, PhD, Professor of Education, University of Prince Edward Island
With over 40 authors from across Canada contributing to 25 chapters, this book offers the reader a pan-Canadian perspective on our differing approaches to schooling, mentorship, and teacher education. Noting provincial differences sheds light on inequities and suggests new directions for the retention of the newest members of our profession.
