An induction handbook for new teachers to School District #92-Nisga'a

Teacher induction, retention, and attrition are issues that all British Columbia school districts encounter. As a rural district, School District #92-Nisga'a faces these challenges in a more rapid and steady rate than urban districts. In this research project, an induction handbook for new teachers entering School District #92-Nisga'a has been created as one way to support new teachers entering the district. Two main purposes are highlighted within the induction of teachers to School District #92-Nisga'a: (1) to create a central location for teachers to access information regarding teaching and learning within the district and (2) to give a general overview of Nisga'a language, culture, and communities. --P. ii.
