How long will new teachers have to complete the NTIP?
A new teacher must have two performance appraisals in his or her first 12 months of teaching. It is anticipated that most new teachers will complete the program within that time. However, new teachers have up to 24 months to complete the NTIP in the event that the teacher receives a performance rating in the first year that is not satisfactory. In addition, regulations provide that in certain restricted circumstances, the 24-month new teaching period may be extended. The extension would provide up to 90 school days (approximately one school semester) beyond the 24-month period to complete the NTIP for the small number of teachers who change teaching environments during the second year of practice, in order to allow time to adjust to the new environment. The regulation also provides for certain time periods to be excluded from the new teaching period (e.g. extended leaves approved by the board, such as maternity leave).
