This article aims to examine the effectiveness of the induction support provided to teacher candidates/interns as they transition into the teaching profession. This case study is an analysis of the Academy for Teacher Excellence’s (ATE) support provided by the Teacher Academy Induction Learning Community (TAILC). The authors contend that the induction program presented can serve not only to support the retention of Latino teacher candidates, but can be used as a model to support other candidates working with diverse populations. The authors conclude that effective teacher induction support assists novice teachers through their zone of proximal development in becoming members of a community of practice.
