In collaboration with the Broward Teachers Union, the School Board of Broward County, the nation’s sixth largest school district, received national recognition for its New Educator Support System (NESS) a site-based induction program that provides new educators support and services that retain new educators at a much higher rate than the state average. Although it is voluntary, virtually 100 percent of all new educators choose to participate. NESS includes a jointly-sponsored and funded New Teacher Orientation; a five-day New Teacher Academy; intense site-based coaching and mentoring support; and ongoing staff development opportunities.
HRD wishes to thank all the Principals, NESS School Liaisons, and Instructional Coaches for their efforts in making NESS a nationally recognized success.
