Mentor Support
Peer Mentors are assigned to experienced teachers (those with three or more years of teaching experience) who are new to St. Vrain. A minimum of eight hours is spent with the inductee to orient them with school and district policies, offer guidance about professional expectations for behavior and performance, provide district and building timelines (e.g., report cards, state assessments) review district standards and curriculum, and locate resources and materials.
Special Education Mentors support early career and experienced special education teachers new to our district. The special education peer mentor works with the inductee for a minimum of 8 hours and the special education instructional mentor works with the inductee for a minimum of 24 hours over the course of the year providing information regarding district processes and procedures, district and building timelines, assessment reports, planning, and ongoing feedback about instruction.
All mentors must complete a 1 credit class – “Mentoring in St. Vrain: Enhancing Student and Teacher Achievement”.
