This session will walk you through the staffing process, including how to access and navigate Bulletin 2 and 3, understand position postings, and prepare any necessary documents. We’ll also discuss the key timelines and expectations throughout the staffing cycle. But beyond the logistics, this session is about connection. You’ll learn how ECSD walks with you every step of the way, offering mentorship, faith-based community, and ongoing professional learning. We are committed to ensuring you feel valued, seen, and heard as a beginning teacher.
