The New Teacher Induction Program is mandated by the Ministry of Education and includes three components: orientation, professional development/training and mentoring. In addition, new teachers are required to participate in two teacher performance appraisals during their first year. The NTIP is designed to be a school-based program led by the school’s principal. School Boards are expected to have a superintendent responsible for overseeing the NTIP and facilitating board-wide sessions for new teachers and their mentors .
