District interns are new teachers earning their CA preliminary credential while teaching and they rely on a mentor to help them navigate the first and second year of this journey. 

Thank you so much for being the most essential part of our intern program. While interns take vital classes, the most authentic learning occurs with you in their daily practice. Thank you for giving so much of your time and heart to nurturing this learning community. 

Please begin your mentor journey by reading our mentor quick start guide. Our letter contains links to our orientation video and other important reminders.
