The document outlines the SJUSD BTSA induction program, which aims to retain and improve teacher quality through culturally responsive mentoring. The program currently has 97 mentor teachers supporting 152 participating teachers. Mentors take on roles like classroom teachers, instructional coaches, and retired educators to guide new teachers. Through weekly meetings and trainings, mentors help develop skills like data-driven instruction, equitable classrooms, and understanding student needs. Embedded inquiry in everyday practice and risk-taking are emphasized for teacher improvement. The goal is for mentoring to be a key part of an integrated system of supports for new teachers in SJUSD.
