Accreditation Data System (ADS) Teacher Induction Pathway Guidance
Beginning with the 2020 reporting year, Teacher Induction Programs have the ability to identify when the Teacher Induction program is designed to work with different type of Preliminary Credential holders in different ways. The key is that every candidate is represented in only 1 report that is submitted by the program.
Level (1): Postgraduate
Pathway (5): ECO, General Education, Not Applicable, Private School, Special Education
Delivery Method (3): Combination, Face-to-face, Online
| Pathway | When to Use this Pathway |
| Not applicable | When the induction program is offered in one delivery design for all candidates, e.g., general education teachers, special education teachers, and private school teachers, select the Not Applicable option in the Pathway drop down list. |
| Special Education | When the induction program has a specialized delivery design only for special education teachers, select Special Education in the Pathway drop down list. The design differs from how other teachers experience the induction program. If there is a special education pathway report, these teachers should not be included in any other Teacher Induction report. |
| General Education | When the induction program has a specialized delivery design only for general education teachers, select General Education in the Pathway drop down list. The design differs from how other teachers experience the induction program. If there is a general education pathway report, these teachers should not be included in any other Teacher Induction report. |
| Private School | When the induction program has a specialized delivery design only for private school teachers, select Private School in the Pathway drop down list. The design differs from how other teachers experience the induction program. If there is a private school pathway report, these teachers should not be included in any other Teacher Induction report. |
| Early Completion Option (ECO) | When the induction program has any ECO candidates in the program, select ECO in the Pathway drop down list. This will allow you to identify how many ECO candidates are in your program and the length of the program for ECO Candidates. If there is an ECO pathway report, these these teachers should not be included in any other Teacher Induction report. |
