Authors: Clandinin D. Jean, Long Julie S., Schaefer Lee, Downey C. Aiden, Steeves Pam, Pinnegar Eliza, Robblee Sue McKenzie, Wnuk Sheri

Literature Review on Induction and Mentoring Related to Early Career Teacher Attrition and Retention
Authors: Long Julie S., McKenzie-Robblee Sue, Schaefer Lee, Steeves Pam, Wnuk Sheri, Pinnegar Eliza, Clandinin D. Jean
This literature review focuses on mentoring and induction programs as a solution to what is defined as the problem of early career teacher attrition and retention. The authors found multiple differences in both induction and mentoring programs around issues such as who offers them, the length of time for which they are offered, whether they are government mandated, whether mentors receive further education for the role, how mentors and mentees are matched and so on. The authors also found that principals were seen to have a pivotal role to play in the success of early career induction programs.
