Congratulations to the eight new staff members who were welcomed at the district’s annual new teacher orientation in preparation for their journey as members of the East Rockaway family. Over the course of three days, teachers learned the districts practices, values, initiatives and expectations through a series of workshops. Topics included instructional technology, family engagement, cultural competency, working with students with disabilities, thinking maps, annual professional performance review, and using data to inform instruction.
