Indiana Team AgEd
implemented a mentoring program for first year agriculture teachers in the
summer of 2014. The program strives
to help new teachers transition into the education field through personal
mentoring.
The program is designed to create a relationship between a seasoned teacher and a teacher just beginning in the profession. Through electronic communication, face-to-face conversations and on-site visits it is hoped that the beginning teacher will become indoctrinated into the education field more quickly and positively.
The final outcome of this program is that there is a greater amount of retention in the field of agricultural education, with a positive future for all involved.
