Project GOAL
Learn about our Project Goal mentoring program for staff beginning their teaching career.
First and second-year teachers in our district receive additional support through Project Goal, our induction and mentoring program for those new to teaching.
About the program
Project Goal was created to help new teachers thrive in the classroom. The program:
- helps train teachers through partnerships with experienced mentors
- guides teachers in using campus and district resources and building good relationships
- teaches effective classroom and teaching methods
- provides opportunities for encouragement and support
Teachers will learn about academic leadership, how to enhance teaching performance and positively impact student achievement through their mentor.
What should I expect?
During the first two years of teaching, teachers:
- are assigned a 1:1 Teacher Mentor by their campus admin
