The appraisal process for new teachers provides teachers with a framework to encourage improvement efforts aimed at student success. Essential in this process is the engagement of new teachers in professional dialogue that deepens their understanding of what it means to be a teacher as described in the Ontario College of Teachers' Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession. It occurs in conjunction with the orientation, mentoring, and professional learning elements of the New Teacher Induction Program. Two successful appraisals in the first 12 months are required for completion of NTIP.
