Mentor Selection Process. 1. In order to be eligible to mentor a FYT, a veteran teacher must have attained New Mexico Master Teacher status (Level 3 Licensure). Qualified Master Teachers who desire to be mentors will submit an application for the “Mentor Pool.” Included in the application will be a letter of interest highlighting their ability to work with teachers, a list of references as well as a letter of recommendation from a principal or supervisor, a teacher colleague, and the site Federation Representative. 2. Becoming a member of the Mentor Pool will not guarantee a mentoring assignment: Not all mentors will be needed and activated each school year. Whether or not a mentor is activated will depend on the capacity to match mentors to FYTs. The need for a specific mentor will depend upon who is hired within the school district at large as well as at the school level. 3. Mentors will remain in full or part time positions in their classrooms. This arrangement will help guarantee that mentors maintain a connection with the daily work of classroom teaching.
