St. Mary’s County’s “New Teacher Induction Program” is being held out as a model for school systems around the state as those systems develop their own local initiatives to address the national “Race to the Top.”
Race to the Top is a $4.35 billion U.S. Department of Education initiative funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act announced by President Obama in 2009. States compete for the funding and Maryland garnered $250 million in the second round of awards. St. Mary’s County is receiving from that pot $1.4 million over the next three years.
Six criteria were used to determine which states receive funding. One of those criteria goes under the broad heading of “Great Teachers and Leaders.” One of the parts of that is “providing effective support to teachers and principals.”
