Mentor Attributes A sense of optimism for teaching; Ability to listen well; Capacity to engage in reflective dialogue that

Mentor Standard 1: Mentors support beginning teachers to demonstrate leadership.
Mentor Standard 2: Mentors support beginning teachers to establish a respectful environment for a diverse population of students.
Mentor Standard 3: Mentors support beginning teachers to know the content they teach.
Mentor Standard 4: Mentors support beginning teachers to facilitate learning for their students.

Twenty-five percent, of North Carolina’s
teachers are in their first three years in the
profession. Of these beginning teachers,
approximately twenty-six percent are starting
their teaching careers prior to earning a
Standard Professional I license.
If our beginning teachers are excepted to meet the
state’s professional teaching standards, impact the
learning of all students in distinguished ways,
choose to remain in the profession and become
future master teachers, teacher leaders and skilled
administrators and superintendents, then a quality
induction program to support the instructional
growth of beginning teachers must be in place in
each of CMS schools.
BTSP StandardsStandard 1: Systematic Support for High Quality Induction Programs
Standard 2: Mentor Selection, Development, and Support
Standard 3: Mentoring for Instructional Excellence
