Policy 4440 – Mentoring

The District’s mentoring goal is to facilitate the growth and development of new educators by
pairing them with experienced veteran educators. Through the effort of both the mentor and the
mentee, the mentee shall draw upon the experience and knowledge of the veteran mentor to
enhance their own professional skills and enhance student learning. It is vital to the success of
our students that new educators become integrated, through the mentoring program, into the
school’s culture and are given the opportunity to better themselves with the assistance of one of
their veteran peers.

Through the mentoring program the Board hopes to not only create a stronger learning
community but also a community where the strong professional and personal bonds between the
educators in the District provide students and employees the best possible working and learning
environment.
