An Ideal Induction Quiz
1.
What is the main purpose of a high-quality induction process in a setting?
1
To provide a one-day orientation and then leave the new staff member to manage
To support new staff over time by helping them understand values, routines, and relationships
To test how much the new staff already knows and replace training
To focus exclusively on paperwork and compliance
2.
Which of these elements should be included in an ideal induction?
1
Clear introduction to the setting’s philosophy, policies, and routines
Pairing with a mentor for support and reflection
Gradual increase in responsibilities rather than full load immediately
All of the above
3.
Why is relationship-building (with children, staff, and families) often emphasised in early induction?
1
Because induction is mostly about socialising the staff
Because strong relationships help new staff feel supported, understood, and effective
Because paperwork is less important than chatting
Because relationships replace the need for training
4.
What is a potential pitfall of a “too rigid, front-loaded” induction (i.e. dumping lots of information at the start)?
1
New staff may feel overwhelmed, forget key points, or struggle to apply what they’ve been told
It’s more efficient and effective
It ensures compliance only and not learner growth
It avoids the need for ongoing support
5.
In an ideal induction, how should performance feedback and reflection be handled?
1
As occasional formal appraisals only
Through ongoing, supportive, reflective conversations — not solely judgemental reviews
By comparing the new staff to more senior staff
By using strict checklists only
6.
Which statement best describes how induction should evolve over time?
1
It ends after the first week — the new staff should be independent then
It should be continuous — with periodic check-ins, evolving supports, and opportunities for growth
It remains exactly the same every year, regardless of context
It becomes less important once staff is comfortable
