The program is intended to help first-year teachers stay confident and prepared. But, veteran teachers have also found themselves learning new things from the newbies.
Spring Branch ISD has found an answer to the teacher retention challenge facing many school districts.
"I'm very grateful for the structure that she showed me. To be able to have that structure in my class, to make that transition a little easier for me when it came to my first year, and Ms. Howard really helped me feel comfortable to voice what I wanted to do and not be intimidated or brought down by anybody," Montejo said. "I couldn't have asked for a better mentor in all honesty.""It's also an avenue for older teachers to stay young, I would say.
First-year teacher Margaret Frandina will be working with 11-year teaching veteran Kallie Parria at Hunter's Creek Elementary School this year. Last year, while attending Texas Christian University, Frandina was a student-teacher here, but now, it's her turn to lead the third grade class.
