New Teacher Support
Welcome to New Teacher Support
Whether new to the profession or new to our district, every new Richmond Public School teacher becomes an integral part of our team. Within a learning community of administrators, mentors, and colleagues, new teachers can come here to find the resources needed to make their first years with RPS productive and successful.
RPS is devoted to helping all teachers develop effective instructional practices, to meet the challenges of diverse student learning needs, and to reach their own potential as education professionals.
Relationships
Social Emotional Learning strategies (SEL) help new teachers fortify and establish relationships with students via Edconnective 1:1 Virtual Coaching Platform and No Nonsense Nurturer.
Series Learning
We train Lead Building Mentors to provide mentoring, pedagogical, and relationship-building support for new teachers, revolving around the culture and climates of the assigned school location.
Professional Learning
We collaborate with the Curriculum and Instruction Department to connect new teachers to rich professional learning opportunities.
We provide curriculum supports centered around content knowledge and classroom management strategies to ensure success for teachers and students in the classroom.
