DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR MENTORING

This satisfies the “Quality Mentoring” rule established by the

Arkansas State Board of Education on August 11, 2003.

The Novice Teacher/Mentor pair folder must include the following:

· A copy of Pathwise Observation #1 encompassing domains B and C and performed around the end of September or the beginning of October

· The Professional Growth Plan that is developed during the post-observation conference following the observation of domains B and C

· A copy of Pathwise Observation #2, which includes domains A, B, C and D and is performed around the end of November or the beginning of December.

· A copy of Pathwise Observation #3, which includes domains A, B, C and D and is performed during the second semester. If the NT is a candidate for PIII, the third observation will be a mock PIII observation using the PIII forms and performed prior to the novice teacher’s Praxis III Performance Assessment.

· “Two Hours Every Two Weeks” time sheets for the entire school year

· “25 Hours Additional Time” time sheets; one per semester for a total of 50 hours for the entire school year.

At the conclusion of the mentoring experience, the novice teacher is given all copies of the observations and the professional growth plan. These documents are the property of the novice teacher.

If the novice teacher is not successful in passing the Praxis III, they are automatically mentored another year and the folder is kept is tact.

All time sheets must be kept by the individual school districts for their financial records. This is documentation for services rendered.
