Abstract	This naturalistic, mixed methods study analyzed how micro-level structures interpret and manifest macro-level policy. It examined a statewide decentralized teacher induction program through the lenses of organizational structure, public action theory, and transformation of intentions. Multiple sources of data were used to describe the type and degree of beginning teacher support offered by the district and to determine the degree of ownership that local players felt in implementing policy. Quantitative data originated from surveys, while qualitative data was collected through open-ended survey questions and participant interviews. Results indicated that decentralized induction policy has the potential to maintain its central tenets, adjust for contextual differences, and improve over time for the benefit of all those involved in providing beginning teacher support.
