Abstract

The Spanish Ministry of Education published in January 2022 under the title: 24 reform proposals for the improvement of the teaching profession, a document that seems to come to collect the idea of the proponents of "promoting a debate" that leads to proposals that improve the teaching profession. To respond to this invitation to the debate, we have thought it convenient to carry out a review of the different investigations that the research team that I have coordinated has developed in the last thirty years in relation to beginner teachers and induction programs. Throughout the article we describe the characteristics of the different induction programs aimed at beginner teachers that we have promoted in Spain and outside Spain. Programs that have been developed at different levels of the educational system, including the university. The experience accumulated in these thirty years allows us to affirm that -in line with the results of international research- induction programs are essential if we are really concerned about quality teaching. But the reality in Spain is far from being aligned with the countries most concerned about their educational quality. If we ask ourselves, how do you learn to teach? In many countries the answer to this question is: designing a continuous, diverse training program rich in training experiences that help new teachers learn the language and knowledge of practice. The answer in Spain is the classic one: you learn to teach by teaching.
