Are charter schools required to provide mentoring experiences for teachers in their emploment who are teaching under Inital certificates?
Section 100.2(dd)(iv) does not require charter schools to provide mentoring experiences for teachers holding Initial certificates in their employment. However, charter school boards of trustees are encouraged to support their novice teachers by providing a mentored experience as a means to increase instructional skillfulness as they transition from preparation to professional teaching and to promote teacher retention.
