The Initiation to Teaching project, designed by the Alberta (Canada) Ministry of Education, provides continued professional training to graduates of schools of education. The project's internship environment facilitates the transition from student to professional teacher. The project allows for: (1) refinement of teaching skills; (2) development of professional relationships; (3) assessment of the intern's suitablity for placement; (4) assessment of the effectiveness of the internship; and (5) further development of the professional skills of supervising teachers. Conditions, principles, guidelines, and procedures of the project are discussed. A brochure included with the report supplies information on the project's purpose and funding, eligibility requirements, and sources of information. (CB)
