Educators and staff members participate in a three-day New Teacher Orientation
More than 30 incoming teachers and staff members have joined the Dolton West School District 148 family this year.
The educators and staff participated in a three-day New Teacher Orientation in August. The sessions provided the new staff members with the opportunity to get acquainted with each other, to learn more about the District and to help prepare for the new academic year.
“The addition of these remarkable educators and staff members enhances our elite team and helps to implement rigorous instruction and provide resources for our students to advance as accomplished learners and skilled leaders. We are delighted to have them in District 148,” said Dr. Kevin J. Nohelty, Superintendent of Schools.
The orientation was led by the District’s Induction/Mentor Coordinator Michael Hurst. The sessions are part of the District’s state-approved, two-year Induction Mentor program which brings together first- and second-year teachers, also known as teacher protégés, with building mentors on a monthly basis throughout the school year.
Hurst welcomed the incoming educators and provided them with helpful materials. He spoke about the Induction/Mentor Program, went over procedures and forms and gave them some insight into the District and its mission. He also answered questions, offered some classroom tips and engaged the educators in activities to help them get ready for the academic year.
District 148 is a pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school system serving families in sections of Dolton, Riverdale, Harvey and South Holland.
