Supporting Educator Mentors

A strong mentoring relationship can be the key to a new educator’s success and ultimately student success.  Beginning educators can gain valuable insight from the experience of a mentor. 

However, for the mentor, imparting wisdom and instructing a new educator is not often an innate skill.  It takes training and dedication.  Professional development for the educator mentors helps mentors improve coaching techniques, analysis, and planning. Mentors, like the new educators, need support.

Below you will find links to various mentor professional development resources and you can learn about the exciting mentor training sessions being offered:
