Beginning Teacher Support

In compliance with federal law, the Nash County Public School District administers all educational programs, employment activities, and admissions without discrimination against any person on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, national origin, age, or disability. The Beginning Teacher Support Program (BTSP) is a state-mandated three-year induction program designed to support beginning teachers. The program is designed so that the experiences of beginning teachers are positive and focused on the knowledge, skills, and dispositions associated with effective teaching.

The BTSP is aligned with the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards and the North Carolina Educator Effectiveness System with targeted support from mentors within each school's Professional Learning Community (PLC). To ensure that beginning teachers have a supportive work climate, each school has a site-based support system that is aligned with the District's Beginning Teacher Support Program.

Beginning Teacher Resources

NCPS strives to provide beginning teachers with access to district and state resources to support their growth as early educators. These resources are available to assist new teachers in becoming acclimated to the district and teaching profession.
