MENTORING TEACHERS

A site for mentors, their teacher candidates, and supervisors/coaches

We have a passion for supporting teachers…

… no matter where they are on their professional journey.

Mentors

How to best support novice teachers during their clinical experience/field placement in schools?

Teacher Candidates

How to make the most of your clinical experience/field placement in your school?

Supervisors / Coaches

How to collaborate with mentors and preservice teachers and foster productive learning opportunities for all?

Professional Roommate Conversations

Early on, mentor-TC partners have found it highly beneficial to have an explicit conversation to get to know each other’s hopes, preferences, and work styles. Consider starting this conversation as early as possible–ideally before the school year starts

We invite critique on the website’s resources from our colleagues in the field — both experienced teachers and those learning the craft.

We thank all mentor teachers, teacher candidates and supervisors/coaches for your work and for your input to this site! We still develop tools, please contact us with suggestion and questions.
