CERRA is proud to offer trainings for teachers who will be serving as mentors for beginning teachers (SC Mentor Training) and trainings for those who will be training mentors (SC Trainer Certification Training). Below you will find a list of our upcoming training opportunities. If you are interested in hosting a training in your district, please call Jan Patterson at 803.323.4032 x6409
Upcoming South Carolina Mentor Trainings
The two-day South Carolina Mentor Training focuses on the knowledge, skills, and understandings critical to those who work with beginning teachers. It is guided by the belief that learning to teach is a career-long developmental process that involves a continuous cycle of planning, teaching, and reflecting. At the heart of this work is the mentor’s ability to respond to each new teacher's individual developmental and contextual needs and to promote the ongoing examination of classroom practice. Teachers interested in serving as a mentor must:
- hold a valid South Carolina professional educator certificate;
- have a minimum of one year of successful teaching experience in South Carolina at the continuing contract level;
- be either a current practitioner or have been employed in a South Carolina public school system within the past five years; and
- have the recommendation of a school administrator and the district's Induction and Mentoring Coordinator.
