Teachers who accept the New Hampton challenge are accepting an arduous pathway. They quickly realize that they must begin by performing a kind of reversal: they need to become students of their students in order to become teachers of their students, and the dialectic is never linear - first this, then that - but always kaleidoscopic and dynamic, never finished. Good teachers observe and record, take in and reflect, stay still for a while, listen, research, and attend. They also act and interact, propose and perform, and then, back to observation, child-study, mini-ethnography, and action research. An endless circle - student/teacher, teacher/student. For the child is alive and moving, never summed-up, always on a journey, and so the teacher must be moving too, also on a quest, never a pat answer, never an authoritative summary of any child, each observation contingent, every conclusion tentative and written in disappearing ink.

Mandatory Professional Development Days
New Hampton School hosts professional development days for all faculty at least once a term. These full days are used to develop both departmental and school-wide programs, and are generally scheduled the day before classes commence for a given term.

Support of Individual Professional Growth
The New Hampton School Department Heads and Director of Studies encourage individual professional growth by approving continuing education opportunities. The New Hampton School supports a sabbatical program for full-time faculty members who have completed 7 years. Recommendations for professional development may be made when Department Heads notice a specific need, or when a faculty member demonstrates a particular interest area for growth.

Noted strengths of the New Faculty Orientation include:

• The orientation provides various opportunities for interaction among new staff to become familiar with one another, the administrative staff, and the physical grounds of the school;
• Insight into our educational philosophy: What it is, what it looks like in a classroom, dorm, co-curricular activity;
• Overview of responsibilities: academic, residential, co-curricular, and community.

New Hampton School believes that equal opportunity for all employees is important for the continuing success of our organization.
