New Mentor Training - Online and Asynchronous
May 2026 - June 2026
Mentor-mentee partnerships help beginning teachers to acclimate themselves to a new environment by shattering the walls of isolation that they often experience at the outset of their careers and, as a direct result, raise student outcomes by expanding pedagogical and interactive social skills.

This rigorous course guides veteran teachers through the analysis of the knowledge and attributes critical to teacher mentoring as well as fundamental instructional practices. Participants will practice primary mentor actions including listening, observing, monitoring and coaching while continually reflecting on their own growth as measured by the NYSED standards for mentoring.
This 6 week course consists of asynchronous assignments with feedback provided by the facilitator weekly. By the end of the 20 hour experience teachers will have created their own mentor handbook with tools and strategies to support the growth, development and retention of new teachers as well as the students they teach.
Enrolled participants will receive an email via Frontline one week prior to course start.
