In Durham, Teacher Mentoring is Cut, Leaving Newbies at Risk

Abstract:
Durham has eliminated their teacher mentoring program. The program served new teachers with less than three years’ experience and paired them with veteran teachers. The program was considered a model in the state only a few years ago. With less help and a high turnover rate among new teachers, Durham’s new teachers are at a higher risk of leaving the profession.
