Mentor U - Mentor University (Mentor U) is a program that supplements our two-year Mentoring program. Each month, expert teachers present on designated topics of interest to the practice of teaching. Novice teachers are able to attend and ask questions. There are guiding questions for each session that help facilitate the time spent together. The sessions are videotaped so that teachers who are unable to attend are able to view sessions through our professional development website. Mentor U is just another way to support our teachers and continue valuable conversations about best practices.

District 15 Mentor Program - The Illinois State Board of Education provides information that regulates a quality mentoring program. New teachers can benefit greatly from the expertise and guidance of experienced educators. As such, standards-based teacher mentoring programs are an important component of an educator's development, and critical to a comprehensive approach to educator effectiveness.
