New Teacher Mentors

What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is a sustained relationship between a novice teacher and an experienced teacher that serves to provide help, support, and information with which the novice teacher can grow professionally.

Why Mentor?
The purpose of the New Teacher Support System (NTSS) is to provide one-to-one mentor teacher pairings to promote teachers' professional growth in curricula and classroom management, and to retain talented individuals who serve all SAISD students at the highest level.

Who Can Mentor?
Any SAISD teacher with three (3) or more years of teaching experience and a desire to help others grow professionally is eligible to mentor first-year and second-year teachers.

What Kind of Mentor Training is Available?
The Office for Professional Learning offers a four-hour course entitled Intentional Mentoring for all interested veteran teachers, those who have never mentored, and those who have not mentored in the last school year. More information about the course is available by accessing the ePATH course registration system.
