mentor - intern program
One of the most challenging times in the career of a teacher is his/her first year in our district. Beginnings can be an extremely stressful time. Even though most new teachers are academically prepared to provide their students with stimulating and creatively planned lessons and learning experiences, mentors should lend proper guidance, support, and encouragement in order for interns to reach their full potential as professional educators.
Goal
The goal of the Mentor Program is to enable new district teachers to be successful in meeting the needs of their students.
Objectives
The objectives of the Mentor - Intern
Program include:
Training and assisting experienced teachers to serve as
mentors.
Providing knowledge of State standards, district wide
performance standards, district curriculum guides and the
Warwick Instructional Model.
Providing instructional assistance, support and general
guidance.
To offer experienced teachers the opportunity to serve as
mentors to share their knowledge and skills with new
teachers entering the field.
