Problems and difficulties that first year teachers encounter in their classrooms are different from those of experienced teachers. Induction programs that are specifically designed for the first year teachers have rarely been developed in Korea. The purpose of this study was to provide the basis for the development of an induction program for early childhood teachers. In order to achieve this purpose, basic assumptions for the program were identified. Among those, the development of an indvidualized program that reflects a teacher’s needs and concerns was emphasized. Role play, action research, clinical supervision were considered as the most effective instructional strategies can be used in the program. Classroom management, effective relationship with parents, improvement of instructional skills were identified as the areas that the induction program should focus on. The program was implemented with 1 cooperative teacher and 3 novice teachers. The results were very positive. Several suggestions for the success of the program were provided.
