Novice instructor's guide

A mentor teacher is an experienced educator who guides a student teacher or new teacher through the practical aspects of classroom instruction.

The mentor observes lessons, offers feedback, models techniques, and helps the novice navigate school culture.

In teacher preparation programs, the mentor teacher supervises the student teacher's clinical placement: My mentor teacher let me take over the class by the third week.
