I talk about key elements to focus on, including:Pre-arrival communication and logisticsOrientation program content and balanceCultural sensitivity training and community integrationOngoing mentorship and professional developmentI also emphasise creating a supportive environment and minimizing staff turnover through induction and share a free PDF resource with a checklist, ideas and tools to help design an induction system.LinksDownload the free induction resource PDF: https://bit.ly/schoolinductionKey Quotes"Pre-arrival is probably the most important part of welcoming new staff to your school.""Don't cram the timetable so full that staff aren't able to get the things that they need personally and professionally as a teacher.""By not focusing on community integration, this led to feelings of isolation and ultimately was a contributing factor to a very high turnover rate.""We need to be thinking about all the way from pre-arrival, plotting a timeline, all the way to that ongoing professional development piece."Please remember to share the episode and spread the word if you found this episode useful.
