Onboarding: Aspen Academy Educator Induction Program
We believe that our success relies on the recruitment and retention of quality professional staff members. The Aspen Academy Educator Induction Program is a structured training program for all newly-hired teachers that pairs them with an existing teacher mentor and helps new employees understand our mission, philosophy and goals, curriculum, instructional methodologies, LiFE (our character and leadership program) and our community strength and service.

This program is designed to build a sense of culture and to articulate our mission and philosophy and is not merely an orientation to the school's organizational pattern, but a framework of our vision for student learning and success. Goals of the program include:

• To provide understanding of the Aspen Academy culture and philosophy
• To effectively master curriculum and content of each domain
• To implement effective instructional methodologies and enhance individual professional skills
• To develop and enhance professional leadership skills within the LiFE Program
• To create a sensitivity and understanding of the unique community we serve
• To emphasize that teaching is a reflection of lifelong learning and professional growth
• To provide a collaborative, supportive network for each staff member that encourages unity of teamwork among administration, teachers, support staff and community members
• To increase retention of high quality educators
