Therefore, inspired by the BRITE project, we developed the Professional Assessment and Development (PAD) Induction Program with the objective of helping novice teachers develop resilience strategies for successfully navigating the difficult situations they may face in their first years of teaching. The PAD Induction Program also offers training for mentors in schools to assist them to guide and support new teachers. The program consisted of online content and activities aimed at encouraging novice teachers to reflect on their current situation and possibilities for improvement. There were also face-to-face seminars, distributed throughout the program, as well as specific seminars where novice teachers and mentors worked together. A total of 112 participants participated in the PAD program. To assess novice teachers’ resilience and commitment to teaching, participants were invited to complete the Multidimensional Teacher Resilience Scale (MTRS) and the Teacher Commitment Scale. Results showed that the PAD program had helped them in their integration, confidence, and stress control through the development of teacher resilience dimensions.}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {Professional assessment and development induction program: an application of the BRiTE Project to the spanish context.}, doi = {10.1007/978-981-15-5963-1_8}, keywords = {Novice teachers}, keywords = {Teacher resilience}, keywords = {Induction plans}, keywords = {Mentoring}, author = {Gratacós, Gloria and Giménez, Montse and Mena, Juanjo and Ciesielkiewicz, Monika}, }
