This year we will continue with touchstones and lead mentors to support provisional teachers at each school. Within the next few days you will be receiving a link to a shared document listing your lead mentor, touchstone, provisional teachers and mentors. Your lead mentor will also receive this link. Please work together to update the list.

The purpose of the touchstone is to provide an additional individual that can serve as a resource for your school’s mentor program. Your touchstone will contact your lead mentor twice a month. The touchstones can help find resources to support your mentors and provisional teachers or help make arrangements for coaching as needed. This does not mean to take the place of communication you already have in place. Please feel free to contact consultants directly for any assistance as well.

We hope the lead mentors and touchstones will collaborate to support mentors and their assigned provisional teachers.  We also ask that lead mentors help to update the mentor/provisional teacher list, distribute and collect contracts, and attend lead mentor trainings. The curriculum department will provide compensation for one lead mentor per school. The first lead mentor/touchstone training will be September 12 for elementary and September 13 for secondary. The meetings will be held at the ASB from 8:00 – 11:00.

The District mentor teacher specialists are also available to provide support. Contact information and school assignments are included on a separate document. We look forward to working with each school to develop a mentor program that supports effective teaching and learning by building capacity among your staff.
