What is expected of a mentor teacher?
In short, mentor teachers are expected to provide opportunities for the interns to grow, to take chances, and to be challenged, to guide the intern in the planning, preparation, and teaching/assessing of content ( in whole group and small group settings), and to welcome the intern's participation in as many aspects of a teacher's daily experience as possible, including conferences, meetings, and field trips. Everything is a valuable teaching moment for the interns, so please share your world with them.
