Welcome to Educator Support
Visalia Unified School District provides accredited induction programs for employees who hold a preliminary Multiple Subject, Single Subject, Education Specialist, or Administrative Services credential.
What do we provide?
District-Funded Mentor/Coach
Teachers and Administrators in the program are matched with a mentor/coach within 30 days of enrollment to provide support and guidance throughout the program.
Professional Learning
Candidates are provided professional learning opportunities through district content-specific meetings and individualized support to improve instructional and leadership practices.
Networking
Candidates, mentors, and coaches are provided opportunities to network with colleagues and other district support through in-person meetings, job-alike shadowing, and classroom observation tours.
Instructional/Leadership Support
Teacher and Administrative candidates attend ongoing meetings with their mentor/coach focused on individualized goals, standards, and an action research project.
Recommendation for Clear Credential
TIP and CASC candidates who have successfully completed program requirements will be recommended by the program for their clear credentials.
