The NTIP is a performance appraisal that each new teacher has to do in his/her first year of teaching (twice) in that first year, and then after 5 years for other teachers. Its just like a perfermance apprials you wold have at/in any other job.
I had my first one done a cople of months ago and have my second one this in the spring. Depending on the school and admin support you or the admin support will answer a bunch of questions (admin support is supose to do this) but it all depends on yor school size.
Either the vip or the pincpal also come in to see you teach a lesson plan.
After everything is completed you have a breif discussion with whoever did your perf. apprasial.
Hope this helps,
