The district's New Teacher Academy is an onboarding program for those new to the district. Find out more here.
New teachers will meet at least twice a month with their departments or those teaching in a similar content area in order to plan. This should allow the teacher to:
- Teach to the rigorous standards expected at TABS;
- Evaluate impact of instruction on student performance;
- Use student and classroom achievement data for planning and curriculum;
- Design instruction to meet specific learning needs; and
- Contribute to a positive school culture.
Once every three weeks—for a total of six observations—new teachers will be partnered with experienced teachers or staff leaders to observe peers and discuss best practices and strategies for the classroom.
