Is it mandatory that all boards offer NTIP supports to their second-year teachers?
No. But where funds are available, boards, at their own discretion, may choose to continue to offer NTIP supports to their second-year teachers. Research and feedback from teachers’ federations, board personnel, the University of Ottawa’s evaluation of the NTIP and a focus group of second-year teachers, indicate that teachers in their second year can more readily identify and implement strategies to improve proficiency more quickly.
