How are teachers acknowledged for outstanding work? What is the Mentor Teacher program?
The Mentor Teacher program, begun in 1983, is designed to acknowledge and reward outstanding classroom teachers. Nominees are chosen by panels composed mostly of teachers; the school board makes the final selections. Mentor teachers receive an additional annual stipend and in return support other staff members, especially new teachers, and help develop curriculum.
