Participate fully in the THRIVE induction process.
Complete/submit all required induction tasks and documents.
THRIVE Hub: THRIVE teachers will be able to monitor the dates and tasks at each THRIVE level through the THRIVE Hub for their school.
Mentor: THRIVE 1 teachers will be assigned a mentor to work closely with them throughout the year. Mentors will meet regularly with THRIVE teachers to answer questions, give feedback, help with resources, or other forms of support.
SBIS: Each school will have a site-based induction specialist. This person will coordinate THRIVE in your school, provide additional support for THRIVE 2 & 3 teachers, and conduct monthly trainings for THRIVE 1 teachers and their mentors.
Monthly meetings: THRIVE 1 teachers, their mentors, and others as required by administration will attend monthly meetings with the Site-Based Induction Specialist (SBIS) at each school. Attendance at these meetings is a requirement of THRIVE 1. If a meeting is missed, the SBIS can arrange for a make-up meeting or alternative task.
THRIVE Conferences: THRIVE teachers will attend THRIVE professional learning conferences throughout the year. These professional development sessions will focus on the priority Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS) at each THRIVE level. Other professional learning sessions and courses may be considered as alternatives to these sessions at the request of administrators and/or SBIS.
