Teacher Mentor Professional Learning Modules (PLM)

These modules are designed to provide professional learning in topics related to mentoring and in support of aspiring or practicing teacher mentors. Each module is housed in Canvas and provides opportunity to learn and reflect upon critical aspects of mentoring. While the modules are designed for teacher mentors, any educator is welcome to enroll and engage in the modules.

Completion of the modules is one way to earn the Teacher Mentor Endorsement. More information about the endorsement can be found using the Endorsement Applications tab above.
