Chinook’s Edge School Division welcomed a large group of new teachers at the New Teacher Orientation program last week, and found the group’s enthusiasm to be off the charts.
Officials say the annual three-day orientation and mentorship program involves teachers who are either new to the profession or new to the division, and is broadly considered to be one of the most extensive programs of its kind in Alberta. It was developed to increase new teachers’ understanding of the culture and expectations in Chinook’s Edge.
Two new teachers who are already described as well versed in Chinook’s Edge culture are said to be Jessie Notley and Cali Wright. They grew up together in Olds, attended all three Chinook’s Edge schools and are now launching their teaching careers in the division at the same time.
“We’ve been linked since Kindergarten – we played ball together, graduated together from École Olds High School in 2016, and took our undergrad degree at the same time at the University of Lethbridge,” said Cali, who continued on to obtain her Bachelor of Education from U of L last winter. “Now I’m teaching Band back in my former school.”
