NExT has developed a suite of surveys for the purpose of collecting information from teacher candidates and school supervisors about the quality of the preparation experience and the effectiveness of the beginning teacher (see Chapter 3). The Supervisor Survey is directed to the school supervisor (e.g., principal or mentor) and asks about the classroom and instructional practices of the first-year teacher. 

The following resource provides supervisors with guidance about the expectations of the survey items related to teacher leadership and professional engagement.  However, these expectations and indicators for leadership and professionalism also serve as reminders to beginning teachers and their preparation programs of the practices that schools might expect.  These indicators can help all constituents consider how such practices are developed during both the preparation and induction experiences of beginning teachers.
