About this Event: Calling all mentors who have completed year 1 and 2 of the New Teacher Center Mentor training... we will be gathering 5 times next year virtually to connect about what is working while mentoring, and how we can support each other when we face mentoring challenges.  We will also learn new strategies and build on those we are implementing.  Your role as a mentor is so critical to our beginning teachers and we want you to feel supported and competent every step of the way.  Can't wait to see you there!  ~The CESA 2 NTC Mentor Team
