Urbana 116 New Teacher Mentoring Program Components New Hire Induction Meetings: The Induction Program is our first layer of support for all new hires. This is an opportunity to develop a community amongst your colleagues. This is separate from mentoring because this is a way for the program to provide specific support that is tailored to individual building needs. Topics that are covered include PBIS, family engagement, PERA, report cards, observations etc. It is our goal to build a very strong, comprehensive, and supportive induction structure for all new hires who are paired and not paired with mentors. All new hires are required to attend. Novice Cohort Workshop Series All new teachers who participate in the Novice Teacher Cohort are invited to attend this special series of workshops where we will focus on building positive relationships and engaging all students in learning. We will also spend some time looking internally at our own beliefs and practices in order to understand our role in affecting the culture and climate of the classroom. Some workshops will be differentiated by readiness for the topic and others by content. New hires will have the option of either choosing a $32/hour or clock hours equated to the amount of time in the sessions.
