Mentoring
New Jersey teachers seeking licenses are required to complete "one year
of full time mentored teaching under a New Jersey provisional license" (from Licensing
and Credentials). A mentoring program consists of two parts or two people:
the mentor and the novice teacher. This section is devoted to the training
of mentors and related research.
