Tri-County Interlocal 607 Mentoring Program

Independence Kansas Chamber of Commerce

Support for New Teachers

Tri-County Interlocal No. 607 and the Tri-County Interlocal Teachers Education Association jointly recognize the value of a mentor program.  The purpose of this mentoring program is to provide teachers an opportunity to develop new skills, be provided with staff development that is meaningful and job specific, provide training and support, and enhance the skills a teacher may already possess.

We believe that by providing a teacher the chance to grow, the result will be better prepared teachers.  These educators, in turn, will be able to provide students with the best instruction possible.

Ultimately, the mentoring program will help teacher’s develop a larger and more complete repertoire of teaching strategies that will improve professional practice, retain promising teachers, and maximize student success.  This program then becomes a continuum of teacher development.  The desired outcome can be summarized as follows:

“Good teachers, working with good teachers, become even better teachers”.
