Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing.

Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation.
Is background verification done before joining?
