| Abstract | This paper discusses findings from a research project that examined a new policy initiative--the induction of newly qualified teachers in England. The project studied the impact of a uniform statutory directive across a large school system with hitherto heterogeneous induction arrangements. The evaluation addressed the first 2 years of the implementation and early outcomes of the induction policy, outlining distinctive features, implementation in practice, and problems and successes. After outlining the historical context, the paper discusses how this transitional period is being supported and how it is meeting its objectives. It analyzes continuities and discontinuities of a policy that combines a strong central regulation with a strategy to raise standards in teaching and learning through site-based support and assessment of new teachers. The paper draws parallels with the United States' largest formal induction program, the California Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment Program. Finally, it summarizes challenges facing both systems in relation to entitlement and high quality induction, proposing that these are not likely to be met merely by investing in additional resources and more vigorous surveillance of the system and recommending more adequate conceptualization of early professional development that seeks to reclaim and extend professional accountability.
