Welcome to the Cal State Fullerton Teacher Induction Program Mentor 

Training and Support Website.

Purpose: As  a mentor for a Cal State Fullerton Teacher Induction Program Candidate, you are charged with supporting the candidate as an educator but also partly as a  program candidate.  Being a mentor to an adult is different from being a teacher to a K12 learner. This site is intended to provide you with resources and opportunities to best support your teacher candidate.

Directions: This website consists of short modules, each focusing on a different topic related to mentoring and coaching in the CSUF Induction Program.   You can access these pages  from the Mentor Training Page  menu on the top right of this page or use the dropdown for training. You may choose to engage with the modules in any order based on your unique needs as a mentor. Each module includes resources and a short activity and will take 30-45 minutes  to complete. 

Each semester, you should aim to engage with three different modules. 

Once you have engaged in 3 modules per semester, complete the survey on the conclusion page so we can issue your certificate.  Because you all have different experiences and interests, please pick any three that you feel will help you as a mentor. 

It is recommended you engage with the General Program Overview Module each semester as you will see course overview videos and directions for supporting the induction candidate with course assignments for the specific course they are taking each semester. 

New mentors- consider completing modules in order.

Supplemental Support: In addition to this website, mentors have resources available at the CSUF Induction Program Website. Also see the Additional Resources page for categorized resources that may be useful. Dr. Loretta Donovan is also offering support with Zoom meetings. Check your email for updates on these.

Objective (based on CTC requirement for training): Through engagement with this website, Cal State Fullerton Teacher Induction Program Mentors will feel proficient at:

• Coaching and mentoring 

• Goal setting 

• Use of appropriate mentoring instruments 

• Best practices in adult learning /Application of Andragogy principles
