How many educators are involved?

The partnership is a full-release mentoring model with ten full time mentors who work with 146 beginning teachers across the four districts (see below) in their grade level/content area. 

How is the program delivered?

Mentors observe and conference weekly with the beginning teachers in their caseloads for approximately one and a half to two hours a week.  Beginning teachers have four opportunities during the year to come together to receive professional development based on their identified needs.

Which districts are served?

• Beaverton SD
• Banks SD
• Gaston SD
• Vernonia SD
   

“This flexibility, along with the grade level and content area specifics are the most important components of our program,” said Tiffany Wiencken, Instructional Coach & Mentor Facilitator, Beaverton School District.  “The partnership of rural and suburban districts is also unique and enriches the experiences of beginning teachers and mentors.”
