Peer Support Leadership
Welcome to Letter
Welcome from the Teacher Support Coordinator
Whether you are a newly hired teacher, mentor, or district administrator, you will find this handbook a valuable resource. Our program provides a framework for effective teaching practice based on the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Each component of the Peer Support experience is based on research of effective teaching and adult learning practices. However, the most important aspect of Peer Support is the collaborative relationship between the newly hired teacher and mentor. Our program strives to continuously improve to best serve the needs of our stakeholders and participants.
If there are questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
