The training you received earlier may not have adequately prepared you for the reality of the classroom. In order to meet the needs of new teachers and to assist them in making their new teaching experience in Baltimore City a successful one, the BTU has developed the New Teacher Support Program. This program is staffed by Lorraine Cornish, a veteran teacher with over 20 years of classroom experience, who served as a demonstration teacher for new educators as well as a mentor for new teachers in her school. The BTU Support Program for New Teachers offers a variety of services especially designed to help teachers new to the Baltimore City Public School System feel confident, capable and comfortable in their classrooms. There is no fee for this service.
All discussions are confidential.
At no time does participation in the program become a part of your evaluation. Welcome to the Baltimore City Public School System. As a new employee you are eligible to join the Sick Leave Bank that is administered by the school system and the Baltimore Teachers Union. The purpose of the Sick Leave Bank is to provide short-term temporary assistance to members in the event a member becomes ill and has exhausted their accumulated sick leave. Your signed letter must be received by the Baltimore Teachers Union within the 30 days of entry date.
