The Dane County New Teacher Project, a consortium of 17 school districts in Wisconsin, believes that new teacher induction is everyone's responsibility. To that end, the group pools resources from member districts to ensure support for new educators as they improve their effectiveness with students, find joy and purpose in their careers, and continue in the profession. A new dimension of support has emerged over the last two years that is showing promise as a practice for supporting and retaining new teachers of color through a project called Partners for Racial Inclusion, which pairs experienced teachers with novice teachers of color. This article describes the one-year pilot program, what lessons were learned, and recommendations for other school systems.
