Quick Facts

Background: Beginning (novice) Teachers (BT) are required to participate in a three-year induction program. During the induction period beginning teachers are to have a formal orientation, mentor support, and both formative and summative evaluations.
Beginning Teacher status is updated on the Employee Demographics page by selecting Staff Actions then Status and Benefits.
There is a Mass Update in HRMS to "Bump" (Move to the next level) staff BT status codes, which should be performed annually before the upcoming school year.
Please visit NC DPI's website for more information about Beginning Teacher Support.

Valid BT Values

Web Report 000122 - BT Status: Lists current staff who have either the code of 0, 1, 2, or 3 for their BT status.
Reporting Tool Reports: These reports default to 4/1/20XX - 3/31/20YY, where XX is the previous year and YY the current year. Keep these defaults since teacher turnover is reported for this date range.

  - In May, LEAs receive spreadsheets of teaching staff from the DPI School Business Administration staff to be completed with various information. These reports can assist you in completing those spreadsheets.
- Beginning Teacher Turnover Summary
  - In October, LEAs receive The Beginning Teacher Support Program Report to complete for the previous year.
  - You will need to know the BT status for staff as of the previous year.
  - HRMS DOES NOT KEEP A HISTORY of BT Status as of a certain date. Whatever is currently in HRMS is the only BT status that will display in HRMS or appear on a report.
  - VERY IMPORTANT: Please note that Licensure data in HRMS is as of "TODAY" and teachers are placed in the TE or LE category as of the date you run the report, not as of any date in the date range entered for the report. Only teachers falling into either the TE or LE category are on the report. Therefore, if you run this report in July, for the previous year and some or your 3rd year BT teachers now have clear licenses, they are not counted.

It is best to run and save and/or print all 3 Reporting Tool Teacher Turnover reports as early in April as possible so the BT status and LE/TE categories at that time are on the report. Please see Tips for Exporting Reports, to see how to save report as a pdf.
Do not "Bump" the BT status before saving and/or printing the reports since the reports will contain the previous year's BT status that is needed for the BT Support Program report.

After the reports have been saved/printed, then it is okay to BUMP the BT status for staff.
