Why would I want to become an Induction mentor?
Why would I want to become an Induction mentor?
As part of inducting a new teacher into the teaching profession, an experienced teacher, called the Mentor teacher, works on a one-on-one basis with the candidate teacher, offering guidance and consultation for two years. Candidate teacher and Mentor teacher matches will be made on an as-needed basis. Each mentor is matched to a candidate teacher based on credentials held, grade level and/or subject area experience, and school site whenever possible. Mentor teachers also model best practices and attend on-going professional development activities with other mentors, all provided by the Teacher Induction program.
As a mentor you will be both trained and well-supported by mentor peers and program leadership during Mentor Professional Development Forums from 4:00 - 5:30 pm on designated days. Mentors are granted 5 release days per candidate teacher, paid for by the Induction program, to better support candidate teachers in the following ways:
3 full-day mentor academy training, ILP review and feedback to candidate teacher
2 classroom instruction observation days of candidate teacher plus support meetings
Yearly stipend/compensation per teacher with a maximum of 3 teachers per school year
