Teachers that are in their first, second, and third year of teaching are considered Beginning Teachers (BTs).  District-level and school-level support are provided to BTs as part of the Beginning Teacher Support Program.  A paid mentor is assigned to 1st year teachers (BT1) and 2nd year teachers (BT2).

Beginning Teachers Request for Extra Duties – Because beginning teachers are protected by state law from having extra duties, it is a requirement that anyone wishing to take on extra responsibilities such as coaching a sport or sponsoring a club must make a request to do so in writing. These requests must be updated annually until you are no longer a beginning teacher.
