Bargaining unit members shall be considered for such assignments. Any bargaining unit member so selected may decline. Mentors shall assist the probationary employee to achieve the goals of the probationer's individual development plan.
Mentors. A mentor teacher will be assigned to each probationary employee for the first three years of his or her employment in classroom teaching. The Mentor Teacher will be assigned by the Administration to provide support, instruction and guidance. The purpose of the Mentor is to provide a peer who can offer assistance, resources, and information in a non-threatening collegial fashion, to acclimate the employee to the duties of the job, and to provide necessary assistance to provide quality instruction. The Board and Association agree the relationship shall be voluntary, confidential and the mentor’s evaluative opinion shall not in any fashion, be a matter included in an evaluation.

Tenured employees shall be considered first for such assignments. The right of selection of mentors is reserved to the Superintendent, or his/her designee. Any employee so selected may decline. In making appointments, the Superintendent, or his/her designee, will consider (by way of example), degrees earned, areas of certification, participation in professional development activities and performance record of internal and external applicants. Probationary employees may serve as mentors if significant experience, graduate degree(s) or other professional accomplishments recommend them as master teachers. The responsibilities of the mentor will be determined by the administration. In general, the responsibilities will include (again only by means of illustration) assisting the employee in fulfilling the objectives of the employee’s Individualized Development Plan and guidance in such areas as classroom management and instruction delivery.

The mentor may not be a member of the new faculty member’s evaluation team. As mentoring is part of a team-building process, it is voluntary; therefore, a mentor may be assigned only one evaluee to coach to a satisfactory evaluation. Mentors become essential in the case of a Needs Improvement recommendation during the evaluation process for probationary faculty; they can also be instrumental in fostering improvement for tenured faculty with the Needs Improvement recommendation.
Mentors. A. For the first three (3) years of employment in classroom teaching, a Teacher shall be assigned by the school in which he/she teaches to one (1) or more master teachers, or college professors, or retired master teachers who shall act as a mentor or to the Teacher.

Mentors shall assist the probationary employee to achieve the goals of the probationer’s individual development plan.
