Approximately 350 new Savannah-Chatham County Public School System teachers will convene at the Armstrong Center, 11935 Abercorn Street, for the annual week-long New Teacher Orientation (NTO) on Monday through Friday, August 18 - 22, 2008.  The group will consist of novice and veteran teachers who are new to the school system and will include educators from across the country as well as overseas.

The orientation theme, “THRIVE!” encapsulates the district’s comprehensive teacher support program held throughout the year to help new teachers prosper, flourish and succeed.  NTO participants will be trained in standards-based instruction, content-specific curriculum, technology and information specific to the school system. 

The New Teacher Orientation is a collaborative effort between SCCPSS’ departments of Academic Affairs and Human Resources who have coordinated with several vendors/business partners to provide prizes and giveaways for the incoming teachers along with valuable information.
