As many of you know, New Staff Training (NST) wrapped up yesterday after two packed training days, and New Teacher Training (NTT) is well underway. The DSST team is thrilled to welcome 242 new staff members this year.

Our new team members hail from 25 states and across the world. 60% of our new staff are from Colorado, but some are coming to us from as far as South Korea.

Our returning staff have had quite a large influence on our new staff too - 45% of our new teachers, leaders and support staff were referred by returners!

During NST and NTT, new team members have been busy participating in sessions about team culture, our commitment to equity, and DSST’s systems.

We’re also thrilled to have the whole team together for the first time this year next Friday at Infusion 2018. If you haven’t already, be sure to register for your Infusion breakout sessions here.

Two claps on two for all of the amazing individuals who have joined our community to make a positive impact in lives of our students!
