Mentor teachers support teachers who are new to the profession or new to teaching in Iowa. Their duties include collaborating with mentor teachers to develop expertise and delivery of specific content areas of the Iowa Core, and to be a resource for new and career teachers in the district.
With the use of TLC resources, MFL MarMac is able to implement a well-defined mentoring and induction program, intensive supervision for mentees, opportunities for peer observations, and ongoing professional development.
