Mentor Teacher Academy: Supporting and Developing Novice Educators
This course is designed to prepare experienced educators to become highly effective mentors for novice teachers through intentional coaching, relationship-building, and instructional leadership. Participants will explore the foundational principles of teacher induction, sustainable mentoring practices, and the essential qualities and skills needed to support new educators throughout their professional journey.
Using a month-by-month mentoring framework, participants will learn how to guide novice teachers through the challenges and milestones of the school year while fostering confidence, instructional growth, reflective practice, and resilience. The course emphasizes purposeful mentoring conversations, effective communication strategies, and practical tools that promote teacher success, retention, and student achievement.
As you know you have in the past or will be serving next year as a Content Mentor for the East Central BOCES Alternative Licensure Program. I am holding a Mentor Training on Wednesday, July 29, 2026 from 9 am to 1:30 pm. After that you can meet with the alt teachers you are assigned to. Those of you from Limon School can take your teachers to your classrooms - if you like. Please register for the training on the EC BOCES website at your earliest convenience - www.ecboces.org If you have any questions, please let me know.
A stipend of $150 is available for those who attend.
