Every year, new faculty members in each of our regions come together for two weeks of deep, immersive training in preparation for the upcoming school year. Great Hearts leaders kick off the training with inspiring addresses outlining the philosophical foundations of Great Hearts: our history, our commitment to the classical liberal arts, and our dedication to nurturing the hearts and minds of each scholar in the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. New faculty are then immersed in presentations explaining our curriculum and unique approach to teaching across various disciplines and grade levels, as well as our role in carrying forth the classical tradition. Teachers are also oriented to the specific supports they will receive while teaching at Great Hearts: grade level and content area mentoring, instructional coaching, and curricular support through our comprehensive Teacher Resource Portal. Moving from the philosophical to the practical, the remainder of New Faculty Orientation is then spent in specific content-area training and preparation. From comprehensive training for elementary level leads and teaching assistants in Spalding Phonics and Singapore Mathematics, to pedagogical training for middle and high school teachers in each content area, teachers benefit from content-rich training, discussion, and feedback. Alongside this instruction, equal focus is given to classroom management, and a focus on the development of a unified classroom and academy culture that reflects "ordered joy". Throughout their time at New Faculty Orientation, teachers grow not only through content-rich presentations, but through faculty seminars on great works of literature, and the edifying associations and friendship with leaders and fellow teachers, which will continue throughout their time at Great Hearts Academies!
