Bertie County Schools

The Beginning Teacher Support Program is mandatory for all new teachers during their first three years of teaching. Bertie County Schools has developed a plan that will nurture the professional growth of new teachers. In addition to the Beginning Teacher Support Program (BTSP), the beginning teachers will experience a multi-tiered layer of support which will include an assigned mentor, administrators, and a support coordinator. 

The new teacher will: 

• follow the guidelines and procedures as outlined in the NC BTSP

• attend a formal orientation

• be assigned a qualified mentor

• participate in district-wide professional developments which are aligned with the NC Professional Teaching Standards and the NC Teacher Evaluation System
