Induction, Mentoring and Peer Assistance

In order to provide KNEA members with the greatest exposure to other induction, mentoring, and peer assistance programs, over 100 websites were reviewed to assess their value. We looked for sites that contained information and ideas that will help the reader consider and/or initiate an induction, mentoring, and/or peer assistance program. Review committee members discussed the merits of each site and ultimately selected those that appear on the list below. While it is impossible for the list to be exhaustive, we believe that this list represents the best of what is available on the internet.
