The AEA13 Mentor/Induction Program, "Journey to Excellence", is designed to prepare and support mentors as they assist beginning teachers’ transition from the university to classroom practice. Six days of training are held over two years for the mentor, four days the first year and two days the second year. Using best teaching practices, mentors are trained for their role of supporting and guiding beginning teachers. Interactive and in-depth, the training also offers opportunities for mentors to reflect on their own practice as they provide guidance to beginning teachers. Mentors leave with a set of materials and skills designed to effectively structure conversations about teaching practice. The AEA13 Mentor/Induction Training and Support Program is facilitated by Connie Richardson, AEA13 consultant, and Pat Shipley (ISEA SWUU director).
