Mentoring
Program
The Mentoring Program, which
is affiliated with the University of Memphis New Teacher Center, is
designed to effectively transition first time teachers from the university
to the classroom setting to improve both teacher retention rates and
student academic achievement.
Under this program two teacher mentors are selected and rigorously
trained to provide mentoring to first-time teachers on the New Teacher
Center mentoring methodology, assessment tools, and intervention strategies
prior to being assigned to new teachers. Teacher mentors meet individually on a
weekly basis with their assigned teacher on the school site. Mentors provide assistance with teaching
strategies, classroom management, lesson planning, identification
of curriculum resources, understanding EasyIEP® and the special education
process. In addition,
mentors help teachers establish professional learning goals, conduct
classroom observation, offer teaching demonstrations, coach teachers
in methods related to student and parent interactions, and provide
emotional support.
Locations: Various
School Sites.
