Abstract
The purpose of this capstone research was to develop a formal process for onboarding professional employees in the Easton Area School District. The Easton Area School District is the twenty-first largest school district in the state of Pennsylvania with 75 teachers qualifying as newly hired professional staff as defined by this study. This research study surveyed the newly hired professional staff members within the District in order to obtain both qualitative and quantitative data that could be utilized to develop a formal system that, when implemented, provides a supportive and engaging atmosphere at the onset of employment. While the survey results were somewhat favorable of the current induction offerings, there were gaps identified based on research based best practices. Ultimately, the findings of this research study resulted in the development of a comprehensive, yearlong onboarding system for the Easton Area School District, called On the Bus. This system includes all necessary components of research-based onboarding programs which, when implemented with fidelity, have the most lasting impact on organizations.
