History

The New York State Education Department requires each school district to establish a mentor program for all new teachers. The current Mentor Teacher Intern Program at Hadley Luzerne Central School was established collaboratively by the members of the Hadley Luzerne Teachers Association and the Board of Education during the 2003-2004 school year. The program started operation in the fall of 2004 with fourteen mentor intern teams. The program matches a beginning teacher with an experienced teacher. The pair then works collaboratively throughout the year sharing ideas and strategies. Each teacher reflects on the educational practices being used in the classroom. A mentor and an intern learn from each other and grow professionally in the process.
