The program is designed to induct new teachers into the district and to provide an option to work toward a master's degree.

New Teacher Orientation
Every new teacher attends a series of seminars and classes on curriculum, instruction, classroom management and the Blue Valley culture.

Peer Assistance
Master teachers are assigned to observe, conference and support new teachers. Peer assistants are trained to help beginning teachers identify strengths and areas for growth.

Coaches are experienced teachers who provide support to new teachers throughout their first year. 		Interested in pursing a special education degree at an affordable price?
Scholarships have been added to state-funded student assistance programs administered by the Kansas Board of Regents. These programs -- the Kansas Special Education Teacher Service Scholarship and the Kansas Teacher Education Scholarship -- are particularly advantageous to current teachers obtaining additional hours.
