Teacher Mentor Guide
“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction."
The mentor is the key to a successful support system for incoming teachers. Mentors are an integral part of a team striving to promote the effectiveness of incoming teachers. Working together, mentors, teachers and support personnel will provide a quality education for students.
Teacher mentors are an invaluable piece of the intricate puzzle that is behind the education of every child. The quality of the mentor/teacher relationship will be reflected in the classroom and ultimately in the attitudes and performance of each individual student. With patience and dedication, mentors can expect to experience great satisfaction as they watch the teachers they mentor develop into autonomous, effective professionals.
