Teaching remains one of the most dynamic and respected professions in modern society. There are many stakeholders that rightly have a voice in schools, but none are more important than the daily professionals that teach its students. The primary audience of this toolkit includes veteran teachers who serve as mentor teachers. Content coaches, curriculum directors, and other administrators will also find it useful as they work with new teachers in their communities. The toolkit is designed to 1) help mentor teachers evaluate their practice and 2) use the kit in collaboration with new teachers. The authors believe mentor teachers are the experienced and valued leaders in their communities and provide the authentic voice needed to lead new teachers transitioning into the profession. Please contact the authors with questions or if they can assist you in supporting teachers in your communities.
