Faculty Transition and Support at Bayside Academy

Starting at a new school is exciting—and it takes support. Bayside Academy uses division-specific transition plans to help new faculty integrate into the life of the school from day one. These plans introduce our mission, core values, and daily practices while clarifying expectations for teaching, communication, and extracurricular involvement.

New colleagues are surrounded by a scaffolded support network that extends through their initial years at Bayside: grade-level team leaders, grade deans, department chairs, deans of students, division heads, and the associate head of school collaborate to provide consistent guidance, timely feedback, and practical resources.

A hallmark of our approach is sustained, frequent walkthroughs by division heads. These brief visits foster curious, reflective conversations that celebrate strengths and identify next steps. Follow-up coaching and targeted professional development are aligned to each teacher’s goals and division priorities.

What support includes

Division-specific orientation and onboarding
Curriculum alignment and assessment practices
Classroom culture and behavior frameworks
Communication with students and families
Instructional rigor, differentiation, and enrichment
Time management and workflow
Effective use of technology and school systems
Access to student support services and co-curricular processes

Our belief
Effective teaching goes beyond content knowledge, organization, and delivery. It grows from understanding our learners, our community, and our philosophy of education. Bayside Academy is committed to helping teachers—and students—maintain a healthy balance of happiness and high achievement.

Professional Development

Professional growth and development is an integral part of Bayside Academy’s mission statement. In order to best prepare and create lifelong learners, we must be lifelong learners ourselves. Therefore, all faculty members and administrators are required to maintain professional development hours. Bayside Academy firmly believes that professional development activities are a crucial part of its faculty members’ professional growth and supports faculty members’ participation in workshops, seminars, and conferences.
