Welcome to the Bellingham School District. As part of a professional
community of learners, the district is committed to supporting the
professional growth of each new teacher. A structured program of
induction begins in August with the
two day New Teacher Orientation. Each new teacher is also assigned
a Mentor who guides and supports the new teacher’s learning
during year one of induction.
New
teachers are also required to attend the monthly New
Teacher Professional Development Series that focuses on instructional
practices and student learning as outlined in the Developmental
Continuum for Quality Teaching, a tool to support
the mentoring of new teachers and is aligned with the
district teaching criterion and indicators for supervision
and evaluation.
