EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During New Teacher Orientation, participants are grouped by schools for small group sessions. Each group of new teachers is trained by a district teacher who has been through extensive training in both the content they deliver and in group facilitation strategies. New trainers are paired with veteran facilitators in order to demonstrate a model of team teaching for our new hires as well as a wide array of real-world classroom examples and information. The facilitators on the attached list have all received this training.
The number of teachers who will attend NTO changes daily as we approach the end of July and hiring in our schools continues. In order to provide an adequate number of trainers for our new teachers, permission is requested to add or delete trainers as needed, not to exceed the budgeted amount of $124,292.52.
