The start of a new school year always brings a rush of excitement, a little nervousness, and a determination to succeed – not just for students, but teachers as well. For teachers starting at a new school, there’s not just the thrill of meeting students, there’s also new co-workers and school buildings to get to know.  
It’s also a great opportunity for school principals and HR managers to help those new teachers get accustomed to their new school’s culture and values. A talent management system can help you create a strong, supportive culture, increase employee engagement and set up a system of onboarding that outlines and enforces your school’s values.  It also gives staff visibility into how their individual goals support the school district’s strategic plan. 

Before your teaching staff heads back to class, let’s take a look at how performance management can make your next school year a successful one for both new and returning teachers.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
