One of our teachers, Ms Webster, leads mentors from KCS & other districts in discussions around mentoring effectively, thus contributing to new teachers’ successes in the classroom & becoming confident as CTE instructors. Teacher support through mentoring is vital for retention!!
Today was the first of three Mentor PD sessions, led by Kayla Webster! 🎉 We love our new CTE teachers and also want to support those who mentor them on a daily basis. If you missed it, join us in the Spring! 💚
