experienced mentors assigned
don't assume the team will take care of all of the details
different induction for rookie/veteran teacher
planning is necessary it doesn't just happen, specific agenda
we need more feedback to adjust to the "needs" of new staff


]]> 2018-06-05 13:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265642069 We all had some level of teacher induction both informal and formal. We realized teachers needed support throughout the year in many areas. We have learned that we need a more strategic and consistent system. Teachers need frequent assistance and support from a variety of resources and a strong mentor or go to person. Once initial logistical teacher induction takes place, a more differentiated induction should take place which takes into account the individual needs of teachers. https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265644826 2018-06-05 13:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265644826 There were different levels of induction at each school. Some more formal with detailed procedures for participants, while others were less formal. Some inductions were started by necessity when certain things happened and new teachers didn't have a clue what to do. We have learned that teachers need tremendous support and resources while getting settled in a new school environment. Some may be veteran teachers but not know how a particular school works. We also learned not to make assumptions about who will help new teachers. When left to chance, new teachers may be given different information from different people depending on the day and time. https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265646010 2018-06-05 13:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265646010 DHS has an induction process already in place that was designed by our school design team. It has been modified each year to changes that are needed. https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265646971 (monthly meetings, lunch and learn, etc.)
DHS and DMS number of new hires are usually larger

"How is it going meetings" (4-6 weeks) with new hires/share feedback

The current design includes technology, differentiation, classroom visits, parent relationships. We will be more intentional about including both district and school mission and beliefs. ]]> 2018-06-05 17:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265697364 Importance of knowing your WHO-staff to students and staff to staff, design activity https://padlet.com/sjenkins/lz7fb6ngt3p8/wish/265698565 Continue Induction Processes in place and add more exposure to:
