The mentors will guide and assist the full-time faculty and adjunct faculty members as prescribed by the appropriate administrators. The mentors will receive a stipend of one hundred dollars ($100) for each full-time faculty or adjunct faculty member to whom they are assigned who are teaching at the College for the first semester and fifty dollars ($50) for each full-time faculty or adjunct faculty member teaching in his/her second semester.

Tenured employees shall be considered first for such assignments. The right of selection of mentors is reserved to the Superintendent, or his/her designee. Any employee so selected may decline. In making appointments, the Superintendent, or his/her designee, will consider (by way of example), degrees earned, areas of certification, participation in professional development activities and performance record of internal and external applicants. Probationary employees may serve as mentors if significant experience, graduate degree(s) or other professional accomplishments recommend them as master teachers. The responsibilities of the mentor will be determined by the administration. In general, the responsibilities will include (again only by means of illustration) assisting the employee in fulfilling the objectives of the employee’s Individualized Development Plan and guidance in such areas as classroom management and instruction delivery.

2. Where possible, the employee mentor and the probationary employee shall be assigned a common preparation time.

Mentors. A mentor teacher will be assigned to each probationary employee for the first three years of his or her employment in classroom teaching. The Mentor Teacher will be assigned by the Administration to provide support, instruction and guidance. The purpose of the Mentor is to provide a peer who can offer assistance, resources, and information in a non-threatening collegial fashion, to acclimate the employee to the duties of the job, and to provide necessary assistance to provide quality instruction. The Board and Association agree the relationship shall be voluntary, confidential and the mentor’s evaluative opinion shall not in any fashion, be a matter included in an evaluation.
1. Every effort will be made to match a probationary employee with a Mentor who works in the same building.
2. Mentor Teachers will be assigned only one (1) mentee at a time, unless the Mentor agrees to take more than one (1) at the request of the Administration. Once a Mentor accepts the position, he/she will continue in that position for the duration of the three year period unless the Administration agrees to release the Mentor from the responsibility or the Administration re-assigns the Mentor.
3. In the event where no one on the staff willingly volunteers to serve or where there isn’t a staff member with the same certification as the probationary employee, the Administration has the right to assign a Mentor Teacher. Teachers will not be assigned more than once every five (5) years.
