Are there limits on the number of release days boards may provide for their new teachers and mentors?
Principals will determine the amount of release time to provide for their new teachers and mentors, as long as the release time provided is sufficient to meet the needs of the new teacher as identified in the Individual NTIP Strategy form. Boards who wish to allocate additional funding for mentor and new teacher release time, beyond that provided by the Ministry for the NTIP, are free to do so at their own discretion.
