Welcome to Jeffco <strong>Induction</strong> for Teachers &<br />
Special Service Providers<br />
Whether you are brand new to education, or coming to us with years of valuable experience,<br />
we hope that Jeffco <strong>Induction</strong> will help your transition.<br />
As an employee new to Jeffco, you must register for induction, even if you have completed an<br />
induction program in another district.<br />
If you have a professional license already, you will receive clock hours that can be used for<br />
license renewal. Beyond your required courses, you are welcome to take any course that is<br />
offered.<br />
If you have an initial license, the State of Colorado requires your participation in an induction<br />
program in order to receive your professional license. You have two years to complete all of<br />
your requirements.<br />
We know that everyone is different. Some are ready to jump-in and learn as much as they can,<br />
which is why we offer so many opportunities at Kick-Off. Others prefer their learning broken<br />
into smaller chunks over a longer period of time. Our courses are designed to help you be<br />
successful in your new job, but you can choose the best timing for you.<br />
Additionally, please know that we will have plenty of people on-hand during Kick-Off to<br />
personally answer your questions. For example, the HR Open Lab will have HR technicians<br />
available throughout the entire conference to answer questions, process information, and<br />
guide you toward the multiple resources and benefits that the district has to offer.<br />
You must create a SignUp Genius account using your Jeffco email in order to register<br />
for <strong>Induction</strong> Kick-Off/Launch, Learn, Lead. Do not sign up for Jeffco learning using<br />
your personal email login or Facebook page!<br />
Our district is committed to providing you with quality learning experiences, resources, and<br />
support. We know that change can often be overwhelming, so please let us know if there<br />
is anything we can do to help you feel welcomed and prepared as you embark on this new<br />
journey!<br />

outcomes. Student experiences are impacted by biases and inequities. Learn how to recognize<br />
when these situations exist and tools to improve student outcomes. This session will give<br />
participants a foundational understanding of equity in education while also acknowledging<br />
that barriers and doorways to positive outcomes exist in our classrooms and schools. We will<br />
explore ways to confront barriers and open doorways to increase student achievement and<br />
success.<br />
