The Beginning Teacher Program in the Dade County Public Schools, Florida was developed to facilitate beginning teachers' attainment of specific generic teaching competencies through supervised support for a full school year. This report examines how many mandated and other procedures in the program were implemented and to what extent the teaching performance of beginning teachers had improved. Evaluation activities included interviews with a random sample of beginning teachers and their support team members, survey of participants on the utility and impact of training and orientation activities, and interviews with the program staff. Findings on the implementation and impact of the program are analyzed, noting areas of success and recommending remedial steps for some problematic areas. Specific recommendations are made for continuation of current efforts and procedures used to improve program management and operations. Data from the evaluation are presented in 11 tables contained in an appendix. Also appended are the generic competencies lists, interview questions for progam participants, and the beginning teacher and peer teacher questionnaires. (JD)
