Over 20 new educators from schools across Bluewater District School Board (BWDSB) recently participated in a full day of professional learning and development with a special focus on cultural awareness.
The New Teacher Induction Program (NTIP) is hosted regularly by BWDSB system staff from the Learning Services – Program and Student Success departments, to assist those new to the teaching profession with support and resources for a successful career start-up.
The Wednesday, March 27, 2024 NTIP session featured a series of carousels related to a diverse range of curriculum areas, including math manipulatives, the science of writing, the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program, and coding and artificial intelligence, among others. Attendees also had a chance to learn about culturally relevant and responsive teaching practices.
