The requirements for induction support of beginning principal of primary school were analyzed based on five aspects, namely “school development”, “principal induction”, “administrative management”, “interpersonal relationship” and “career development”, and the construction of models of induction support was analyzed based on five aspects, namely “organizational aspect”, “system aspect", "program aspect ", "methodology aspect" and "feedback aspect". Questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews were used as research methods in this study. A questionnaire survey on “The Construction of Models of Induction Support for Beginning Principal of Primary School” was conducted, in which 156 beginning principals from five counties in central Taiwan, namely Taichung City, Miaoli County, Nantou County, Changhua County and Yunlin County, were taken part. The analysis and test were done by way of descriptive statistics, T-test, one-way ANOVA, and Chi-squared test statistical method. By way of purposive sampling, 15 beginning principals were selected and interviewed. Finally, the collected data was collated and summarized as follows: Beginning principals’ perception of requirements was at upper middle level. There was no significant difference in the requirements of the beginning principals of different background variables. Construction of Models of Induction Support for Beginning Principal： 1. For the “Organizational Aspect” of the Induction Support Models, the responsible authority for the planning is the National Academy for Educational Research. 2. For the “System Aspect” of the Induction Support Models, it provides the requirements for induction support of a beginning principal. 3. For the “Program Aspect” of the Induction Support Models, it arranges learning in the form of tours and school visits. 4. For the “Methodology Aspect” of the Induction Support Models, it plans to mentorship program. 5. For the “Feedback Aspect” of the Induction Support Models, it aims at understanding beginning principals’ satisfaction levels by interviewing the mentor principals and the beginning principals.
