Mentor 36 - Surrey Teachers' Association

Co-Sponsored by the Surrey Teachers’ Association & School District 36

Many teachers find supportive, understanding colleagues at their schools. To help support and formalize those relationships, the STA and the School district sponsor a Teacher Mentorship program. This is a wonderful opportunity for new teachers to benefit from the expertise of a more experienced colleague, someone with a sympathetic ear, and someone who will be there to answer their questions. For mentors, working with new, enthusiastic teachers is always a rewarding and re-vitalizing opportunity—you will undoubtedly find yourself rejuvenated by their optimism and energy! Please consider signing up as a mentor or new teacher at Mentor36.

Who can join?

Mentees – new contract teachers, and new to role, we are developing what support look like for a TTOC mentorship version.
Mentors – experienced members with more than 3 years of teaching experience.

What does it involve?

Partnerships – If you already have someone in mind you would like to work with, please submit your applications together. If not, we try to pair people up with someone at a nearby school, who is teaching similar grades/subjects.
Commitment – attend 4 after-school whole-group sessions and informal meetings/communication with your partner.
