New Educator Induction 2023
On Aug. 11 we returned to an in-person session of New Educator Induction to welcome 450 educators to Jordan School District. In attendance were educators representing 8 countries and 20 states, both new and returning educators to Jordan School District. Thank you for all who came and supported these educators at the clap in and clap out. The words of appreciation, willingness to step in and help with a variety of media interviews, enthusiasm, costumes and more made this event memorable.
We wanted to give a shout out to Eric Price, principal, and WestJordan Middle staff, for hosting us and smiling at our shenanigans for weeks in preparation. The list of individuals, groups, departments and community partners to thank is long. Without the support of everyone involved this event would not have been as successful. THANKS to ALL of YOU who were involved.
