PROJECT PROPOSAL

The objective of the project

The objective of this project is to provide a good and productive learning environment for students by enhancing continuous growth and development of teacher performance.

Definitions of Terms

Mentor – refers to a teacher who is certified or an administrator in case a teacher is not available. Mentors are available on the bases of tenure. They are respected and valued by colleagues as well as administrators because of their commitment to the quality of education (Wolery, & Common, 2018). Mentors are assigned with the responsibility to train teachers so that they can achieve the required skills, knowledge of what is expected of them in class.

Mentee -the term mentee refers to a teacher who is new in the education industry. The teacher is usually certified but lacks prior knowledge of what is expected in practical events. A mentee must learn from mentors before they can be useful in the class.

Guidelines Required During the Mentoring Process

A new teacher who has undergone certification after a specified date. All such teachers should be eligible to be enrolled in the teacher mentoring program.

The mentee must be willing to be under the supervision and instructions of the assigned mentor. The mentee must also heed to the instructions as given by the instructor or mentor. However, the duties assigned to the mentors do not deprive the management the authority to assess and evaluate the performance of the mentees (Wolery, & Common, 2018). On the other hand, the authority of the management over the mentees does not deny the mentor to notice and report any unethical behavior in the course of the mentoring program.

The development of an organization of the staff is done at the completion of the first mentee training program. From thence, staff will be updated on annual grounds.

The mentors will get monetary compensation as outlined by the law for such services and job group as it suits every individual mentor.

The Procedure for Becoming a Mentor

All teachers interested in being mentors must have qualifications as defined by the supervising institutions.

Interested candidates must complete the filling of a form as designed by the relevant authorities.

The board and institution’s executive and principals will evaluate and vet the applications.

The mentors must honor their contract by attending all training sessions as it is implicated in the contract.

The Role of the Mentors

Mentors have the duty to visit their assigned training sessions, deliver their services as required, and also provide feedback as per the need of the mentee.

Mentors have the duty to encourage and allow mentees to attend the training sessions.

The mentors should make transparent the course outline to the mentees. This means that they should share all the relevant information to the mentees to enhance cooperation and readiness during the training sessions.

The mentor has a role in creating a connection between the mentees and training or learning resources provided for the program. This is the only way that the mentee acquires something from the program.

The mentor has expected to help the mentees build and work towards their goals.

The mentor should enhance quality communication during the course and apply productive criticism to assist the mentors in understanding everything.
