At Colbert Elementary Magnet School, we have decided to have a joint effort in supporting our new teachers and second year teachers. This year, we have established a site based induction team that includes:
- administrators,
- team leaders,
- coaches and
- support staff.
We set a meeting schedule for the team. We meet monthly to discuss our successes and weaknesses in supporting the new educators. Coaches are asked to submit minutes about the weekly activities with their new educators. We as a team review the minutes from the meetings to see how we may better assist the coaches as well as to share best practices. We also use the information in the minutes to identify professional development needs of our school.
The Principal conducts Chats whereby - once a week any teacher may have a discussion with the principal about Colbert. This encourages new and veteran educators to have open communication with their principal.
