"Project ATTAIN (Alabama Teacher Training and Induction Network) is designed to provide novice teachers support so that they will not only survive and stay in the classroom, but will become highly skilled, committed and caring professionals who become educational leaders."                 

                                                                               Cecilia Pierce, Co-Director

"Induction should be regarded as part of a teacher's developmental process and constitute a seamless flow from the teacher-training program through the third year of teaching, at a minimum.  Recognizing the phases new teachers go through provides a framework within which we can begin to design support programs to make the first years of teaching a more positive experience for beginning teachers."
