This paper deals with all of the
essentials of creating a lasting teacher mentoring program. These essentials include goals,
preparation, implementation, and program
assessment. It also includes a template that was created by a mentor teacher in Los Angeles. This is a complete mentoring program description that can be used as a reference to implement mentoring programs in a district that does not have one. It even gives ways for administrators to assess the program and make suggested necessary changes based on that assessment. Every school's faculty and needs are different from the next, so this is just an overview for a general mentoring program. Once assessed, the program can be adjusted to fit the unique needs of districts.
