This dynamic training can help mentors to:

• Ease new teachers’ entry into education and support them during their first year.
• Raise teacher retention rates.
• Connect teachers with knowledgeable, caring experienced teachers.
• Build faculty’s confidence, efficacy and success in serving diverse students.
• Be a guide, advisor and trusted friend and a successful role model, counselor and co-teacher.

Mentors will be able to help new teachers navigate rough and still waters, build on teachers’ natural strengths, reflect on what works, and be partners for success.
