A Multiyear Project
Project STAY has been developed iteratively over four years based on multiple rounds of feedback from stakeholders to ensure it is acceptable and feasible. Years 1-2 will consist of classroom observations, focus groups, and feedback from an advisory board. Information from these sources will be used to develop the first iteration of the induction program. Year 3 will consist of small-scale implementation of the program with feedback from teachers and administrators. We will use the data from Year 3 to make needed revisions and implement the program a final time in Year 4 to test its effectiveness with a larger pool of teachers and students.
