Mentor/Cooperating Teacher Information

Thank you for mentoring our aspiring teachers! 

If you have any questions, please contact us at teachered@ithaca.edu

ACTEC Mentor/Cooperating Teacher Policy

All mentor/cooperating teachers must be certified in the discipline and be tenured or hold national certification. Requests for exceptions to this policy must be made in writing to the program coordinator with a rationale. The committee also agrees that, while the requirements listed above are baseline requirements, we all look for teachers in both rural and urban schools who demonstrate a variety of successful teaching skills and strategies and have experience working with a variety of students and grade levels.
