​
New-Teacher Induction Program (NTIP) involves two evaluations in the first 12 months of employment with the Board. There should be one in each semester. For part-time contract teachers who only teach in a single semester, the first NTIP evaluation will be completed in that semester during your first year and the second NTIP evaluation will be completed in the following school year.

TPA observation guides for certain roles such as community class teacher, teacher librarian, co-op, guidance, student success, coordinator/consultant, and teacher: blind/deaf are available at the bottom of the Boards TPA Webpage.

Deferrals/Exemptions:
A teacher can apply for a TPA exemption or deferral (BWW). An exemption changes your cycle year. A deferral does not change the cycle year. See the details in the Board TPA memo (BWW).
