their job role smoothly.
Program Goals
The major goal of this program is to build a sense of culture and to articulate the school’s
vision, mission and values. It involves a structured training program for all teachers new to the
school. This training provides not merely an orientation to the school’s organizational pattern,
but also a framework of the school’s vision for student learning and success. Therefore, the
objectives of the program are to:
1. Familiarize the inductee with the school’s policies and practices and to integrate them
into the social system of the school and community
2. To provide an opportunity for the inductee (new teacher only) to analyze and reflect on
their teaching with coaching from HODs.
3. To support the development of the inductee’s professional knowledge and skills.
4. To provide continued assistance to face the challenges of the new employee.
5. To cultivate a professional attitude toward teaching and learning, and working with
others such as students, parents and colleagues.
An orientation program will be presented by administrative staff and HODs prior to the
beginning of each academic year in September (in case of new employee joining at the
beginning of the academic year). A similar program will be presented to any newly hired
inductee throughout the school year by a team of professional to ensure the continuity of
the program. The orientation will include presentations on classroom management,
students’ exceptionalities and referrals, observation and evaluation of professional
personnel, and current issues in education. Ongoing activities throughout the year will
focus on any other activities deemed appropriate to familiarize the inductee with the DIS.
Some of the topics that will familiarize inductees with the DIS will include but not limited to:
