Abstract
The We Teach Texas P12 Mentoring and Coaching Academy’s vision, a new program offered by the College of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University, is to transform the preparation of teacher mentors by providing evidence-based professional development for P12 mentors and coaches who support beginning teachers throughout the state. Attendees will (1) understand why building mentoring capacity matters, (2) discuss ways that training programs professionalize the mentor’s role, and (3) examine the ways the Academy’s university-based mentor training program, which is aligned to the Texas Teachers Evaluation and Support System (TTESS) rubric, can strengthen school-university partnerships.
