This wiki was designed to help you navigate the un-tenured waters of education. Being a teacher is a tough job; being a first year teacher is a really tough job. But don't fret, I've been there myself and made it through 21 years in the classroom. After the first one or two....the years fly by! As part of your new teacher induction program, the Upper Dauphin Area School District works together with the CAIU to make sure that you have all the resources and information you need to be successful. In addition to the induction workshops at the CAIU, we also have our own online induction program. Our program will provide information and guidelines for a variety of educational topics. This program will also acquaint you with the policies and procedures followed at UDA. As a member of the teacher induction wiki, you will be asked to read, reflect, respond, and report as part of the activities that have been planned for you. As we discussed, there will be assignments/activities posted every two weeks. At the end of the second marking period, we will meet as a group and reflect on the progress we've made. I will send you periodic updates and directives by email. I hope everyone makes the most of this opportunity, but more importantly, I hope this online induction program enhances your experience as a first year teacher. K. Landa (aka: kalypsew)
