Every teacher new to the district is assigned a mentor. Mentors review policies and practices with new teachers and model classroom instruction.
Many schools conduct New Teacher Academies which focus on topics that are of interest to new teachers.
Staff development is tailored for new teachers. Experienced teachers set up model classrooms and guide on how to begin the school year.
New teacher staff development is held on each campus before the beginning of the school year providing an opportunity to meet the principal and mentor.
Staff development assists teachers by reviewing curriculum and instruction for the beginning of the school year.
Instructional specialists, department chairs, master teachers, and content area specialists are a source of ongoing campus support for all teachers by assisting in modeling lessons, supplying materials, and answering questions.
Staff development in classroom management, technology, curriculum, and instructional strategies is provided by the district as a support tool for teachers.
Laptops, cell phones, RISD apparel, and professional books are available for all teachers.
Well-defined curriculum guides and pacing calendars are provided to teachers on RISD's Edline Intranet which can be accessed from home.
RISD strives to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all teachers and students by providing surveillance cameras and keyless entry. |
