Mentor Assignment Clause Samples
The Mentor Assignment clause establishes the process by which a mentor is designated to a mentee within an agreement or program. Typically, this clause outlines the criteria for selecting a mentor, the responsibilities of both parties, and any procedures for changing the assigned mentor if necessary. Its core practical function is to ensure that both parties understand how mentorship relationships are formed and managed, thereby promoting clarity and consistency in the mentoring process.
Mentor Assignment. 1. From the pool of mentors selected by the selection committee, the Superintendent will assign a trained mentor employee to each Resident Educator hired by the district.
2. Assignments will only be in one-on-one teams, one mentor assigned to one Resident Educator for one school year.
3. In making these assignments the Superintendent will select mentors with the same certificate or job assignment as the Resident Educator, whenever possible. The mentor employee will be selected from the same building as the Resident Educator, whenever possible. This is especially important at the elementary level. In the case of Resident Educator circuit employees, it is important that the mentor is also a circuit employee with the same certification, if possible.
4. If no mentor employees with the appropriate certification are available within a building, the superintendent will assign a trained mentor from that building that has a different licensure. If no mentor employees are available in a particular building, the Superintendent will assign a trained mentor employee from another building.
5. Six weeks after the beginning of the school year, the Resident Educator may request to the Superintendent the reassignment of mentors. The Superintendent will investigate the situation and will reassign the mentor if appropriate.
6. Mentors may also request reassignment to a different Resident Educator six weeks after the beginning of the school year. The Superintendent will investigate the situations and will reassign the Resident Educator if appropriate. If the mentor does not work an entire school year as a mentor, the supplemental pay will be prorated for the period of time actually worked.
7. In the event of illness or emergency during the school year that prevents the mentor from completing the year as a mentor, the Superintendent will assign another mentor to finish the year.

If no instructional coach is available, the LYHS principal will assign a teacher mentor of her or his choosing. A teacher on a remediation plan will have access to the instructional coach or teacher mentor who will help to address the areas of improvement. The remedial teacher and the instructional coach or teacher mentor will be given common time during the workday during non-instructional time in order to work together. In addition, the remedial teacher can choose to use his/her planning period to observe other teachers at Latino Youth High School if the teacher and principal believe this would be beneficial to success in the remediation plan.
Mentor Assignment. In order to encourage a culture of collaboration and support among staff, Mentors may be invited to provide workplace support to other employees during their work day. Mentor duties and responsibilities may involve the use of the Mentor’s lunch time and requires a willingness to establish regular communication with another employee, the Mentee. The fulfillment of Mentor duties does not relieve the Mentor from any workplace assignments except as specifically approved in advance by a supervisor. Management shall offer the opportunity to Mentor to the qualified employee who shares a building and schedule with the Mentee. In the event that more than one employee per building is eligible, management may request a conversation with employees to assess their interest and qualifications. The assignment of Mentor to Mentee is to be made in writing by a supervisor. Stipends for Mentors shall only be issued when a Mentee has been assigned. At the conclusion of the assignment, it shall not automatically renew or be extended unless indicated in writing by a supervisor.
