Monthly mentoring is a key component of the Jaffe Fellows’ success in their classrooms. Strong and supportive mentoring has a direct correlation with the retention rate of new teachers.
Jaffe Fellows, both in their first and second year, are mentored by experienced practitioners. The PCFP mentors have demonstrated a commitment to education, the ability to communicate effectively, and knowledge of the specific content area.
The mentors are passionate about the professional development and growth of the Jaffe Fellows. Through the two year mentoring relationship, Fellows are offered individualized support and provided assistance with establishing instructional priorities, implementing curriculum mandates, and setting clear and realistic expectations for themselves as well as the students they serve. Mentors provide invaluable feedback that serves as an inspiration for the Jaffe Fellows to progress and excel.
