    Abstract

    The article gives an overview – in the form of a “review of reviews” –
    of existing knowledge in the research on teacher induction programs in primary
    and secondary schools. The article is based on seven reviews. The article describes
    the various elements that can make up teacher induction programs in primary and
    secondary schools, and shows that such programs – with their various content and
    contexts – can contribute to the professionalization of teaching. This includes the
    development of insight, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Induction training can counteract
    burnout, strengthen teacher resilience and thereby facilitate continuing professional
    development and a firm foothold in the job as a teacher.
