Mentor teachers, when carefully selected and supported, can help create new norms of collaboration, inquiry and ongoing learning. The induction program benefits both beginning teachers and mentors. Selection as a mentor helps experienced teachers develop their leadership skills through participation in the extended professional learning community and may lead to greater professional satisfaction and career advancement.
