New SCDSB teachers were invited to an orientation day which was a joint presentation of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board and the Ontario Elementary Catholic Teachers Association. The training session was the second of several inservice sessions in accordance with the government initiative “New Teacher Induction Program” (NTIP). All new teachers that have been hired since January 1, 2006 will be given a volunteer mentor to work with and will receive inservice on several timely topics. The Sudbury Catholic District School Board has hired 46 teachers of which 32 are new to the teaching profession.
