Mentoring:

  • We provide intensive supervision that consists of structured guidance and regular on-going support for teachers

Following admission, a program plan will be developed for the intern with the assistance of the program coordinator. The program plan will be used as a mentoring tool to ensure that interns are progressing satisfactorily in the program. A deficiency plan will be developed and implemented for interns whose progress is not satisfactory.

 The Texas Beginning Educator Support System (TxBESS), is an initiative of the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC), and is designed to provide systematic support for beginning teachers in their first and second years on the job.

Partnerships that include beginning teachers, local school districts, campuses, educator preparation entities, local businesses, and regional education centers have shared responsibility for the success of these beginning teachers. Supporting beginning teachers early in their careers leads to reduced turnover and a more experienced, better-qualified public school teaching staff. TxBESS is part of a coherent, standards based system that begins with the state student standards and continues through pre-service preparation, induction, and in-service professional development.

Beginning teachers who have TxBESS support will attain greater professional expertise more quickly than unsupported beginning teachers, which will in turn lead to higher academic achievement among Texas students.

A mentor teacher, in conjunction with the local school district and "ACE" A Career in Education – ACP, will be given an 8 hour Staff Development training (at a site to be determined) that will identify the overall program, policies procedures associated with SBEC and NCLB, and the TExES Exam(s) the intern is attempting to pass i.e. domains, standards (day to day activities of intern through mentor) during the Fall or Spring. The Mentor will be paid a stipend of $100 to $200.
