Faithful and thoughtful learners, working together to transform the world.
The purpose of the New Teacher Induction Program (NTIP) is to establish a solid foundation on which new teachers can continue to collaboratively build their professional practice in a supportive environment.
As part of NTIP, learning is job embedded, and aims to enhance the experience of teachers during their pre-service teacher education. Through a full year of ongoing support, new teachers will develop the requisite skills and knowledge that will enable them to achievement success as experienced teachers in Ontario.
As a Catholic district school board, our NTIP program is also infused with faith-based elements that align with the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations. This is further built on both the board’s mission and vision for our school communities, as well as the promotion of Faith, Community, Inclusivity, Respect, and Achievement.
