Page 12 - Teacher Selection and Onboarding Guide

Onboarding activities can consist of sharing any pertinent information necessary for their
success. Specifically, principals should provide new hires with the school’s policies, provide clear
expectations about their specific job duties and responsibilities, and connect them with
appropriate support systems at the school, the Professional Development department, and
Central Offices.

Setting clear expectations and providing effective support during the onboarding period can
assist the teacher in being prepared and better able to have a successful start in fulfilling the
needs of the position and the school. In addition, the principal should provide any available
supportive resources and materials, and ensure key staff are ready to begin the two-year new
teacher support plans at the school.
