description This paper presents the outcomes of an innovative induction program designed to support beginner teachers during their first year of teaching. It emphasizes the mentoring strategy and the effectiveness of utilizing genuine pedagogical tools that were specifically developed to address the professional needs of new teachers. The induction program tailored for beginner teachers utilized a pedagogical intervention strategy and differentiated approach to develop a new toolkit for lesson analysis and for individual and group reflective activities developed in the classroom. The induction program provided reflects the professional perspective of a group of mentor trainers involved in the first systemic project that trained the teacher mentors at national level. These trainers developed a pedagogical toolkit that is beneficial for both beginner teachers and mentor teachers. Additionally, the program incorporates a remote mentoring model, which has a significant influence on new teachers’ continuing development.
