Teacher of the Year reports successful new‑employee orientation and teacher supports
Summary
Madison Little, the district Teacher of the Year, described new‑employee orientation activities, credited HR lead McClain for planning, and said new teachers left feeling engaged and supported after sessions on accommodations, ParentSquare and program onboarding.
Madison Little, the district's Teacher of the Year, told the board she attended new‑employee orientation and described the sessions presented to beginning and new‑to‑district teachers. "One of my main goals as teacher of the year this school year is to make sure that I'm highlighting all of the amazing things that are happening in our district," Little said. She thanked the HR team and specifically singled out "Ms. McClain" for her work organizing orientation. Little summarized orientation content that included instructional supports, sessions on EC (special education) and 504 accommodations, ParentSquare, NESIS tips, content‑area onboarding, program‑choice options (IB, STEM, DLI), and academic conversations and comprehension strategies. She said teachers reported feeling engaged, supported and connected to peers and that the experience helped build a "strong start" before school begins. Ending: Little said she would participate in the district's RISE convocation the following day and encouraged continued emphasis on community and support systems for new and returning teachers.
