More than 1,000 new teachers were welcomed into the Dallas ISD on Thursday.
The teachers took part in the Dallas Independent School District's New Teacher Academy on Thursday morning.
The Academy is a one-day event designed "to ensure every new hire obtains an understanding of the district's culture, direction, priorities and opportunities to help them succeed," according to a news release from the Dallas ISD.
The new hires amount to approximately 1 in 10 of all 10,000-plus teachers in the district.
In addition to the new hires, the Dallas ISD is still looking to add approximately 250 more teachers; many of them in the fields of special education, bilingual instruction, math and science.
