A mentor teacher is an experienced educator who provides guidance, support and advice to a less-experienced or new teacher. The role of a mentor teacher is to help their mentee develop their teaching skills, classroom management techniques, and overall professional growth. Mentor teachers often work with their mentees on a one-on-one basis, providing personalized support and feedback throughout the school year. This partnership can be invaluable for new teachers as they navigate the challenges of their first years in the profession.
