Mentoring

The Fellowship will help retain high-quality teachers by making sure that their preparation is aligned with the skills teachers need to succeed in high-need schools, including significant teaching experience. Upon receiving their master's degree, Fellows will be assisted in securing teaching placements within districts that have strong leaders, experienced teacher mentors, and pre-existing relationships with participating teacher education programs.

Every Fellow will receive ongoing, intensive mentoring and assessment focused on the first years of teaching, as well as opportunities for continuing education through the university they attended. Studies show that strong mentoring is one of the most important factors in new teachers' success and satisfaction.
