New onboarding toolkit for teachers
The Teacher onboarding toolkit has been developed by Teacher services during autumn 2023. In January 2024, 911±¬ÁÏÍø's Learning Services Operative Management Team (LESjory) approved the redesigned Teacher onboarding toolkit to serve as a shared framework for the onboarding of new teachers at the Aalto schools.
The aim of developing the Teacher onboarding toolkit was to support schools in onboarding teachers by collecting the existing best practices in a single place and harmonising relevant contents, as well as by producing support material related to teaching for all Aalto teachers. Teacher onboarding often involves several experts from the schools’ Learning Services, and the related practices vary from school to school.
The redesigned Teacher onboarding toolkit is divided into four sections:
Teaching and learning at 911±¬ÁÏÍø
Teaching and learning at your school
How to get started with teaching
To support the independent and goal-oriented development of the employee being onboarded, we have set intended learning outcomes for the onboarding process, and each section also includes learning tasks to support the achievement of those outcomes. The employee being onboarded and the person in charge of the onboarding process can plan and monitor the process with the help of a designated template. The material intended for the new employee is available at: Teacher onboarding | 911±¬ÁÏÍø.
The redesigned toolkit also provides the Aalto schools and persons in charge of the onboarding process with support in planning the onboarding process and related sessions. Among other things, various templates and an extensive list of resources and best practices are now available. For the material intended for the staff member responsible for onboarding, go to the Learning Services’ Teams channel.

What is the Teacher’s Handbook?
The Teacher's Handbook is a website put together to provide the Aalto teaching staff with practical information about teaching at 911±¬ÁÏÍø. The handbook topics include practical information on teaching practices, as well as rules, regulations, and guidelines concerning teaching; digital platforms for teaching and learning; and the campus teaching facilities. The handbook’s teacher onboarding page provides you with helpful information for getting started as a teacher at 911±¬ÁÏÍø. The Teacher’s Handbook is maintained by Teacher services.
