Mentor Credential Analysis: The EPP does its best to keep up with the credentials of their current mentor teachers. The list above
shows 158 mentors that have been used since 2010 in early field experiences, junior level methods courses and student teaching. The
EPP requires student teaching mentors to complete a credential form as well as an I-9. Junior level method mentors and early field
experience mentors are not required to fill out the credential form; therefore, we do have some gaps in the table above. Moving
forward, the EPP will require the credential form to be completed and on file for all mentor teachers.
For the mentor teachers that have their certification information on file, 100% of them are teaching in their certified area. Since this
information is not complete for all mentors, we cannot accurately say that this is the case for all mentors; however, it shows that the
majority of our candidates are placed with teachers who are teaching in their certified areas.
Page 18 of 18
According to this data, the average number of years of the mentor teachers that we use (and have the accurate information) is 19. As
you can see from the table below, we have 16 mentor teachers who are very experienced with having over 30 years of teaching
experience. It is also important to point out that all mentors have at least four years of teaching experience, with the majority of our
mentors having ten or more years of experience. The EPP has maintained consistency in the requirement that all teachers have at least
three years of teaching experience in order to qualify as a mentor teacher for the EPP’s teacher candidates.

candidates are often placed within these local districts as well as urban districts located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Cincinnati, Ohio;
