Mentor Teachers are a crucial support for teachers at Student U’s Summer Academy. Each mentor supports a cohort of teachers during the instructional day at Student U’s Summer Academy in one content area (ELA). We believe our classrooms should reflect best practices in instruction, encourage academic rigor, develop critical thinking skills, and engage students in becoming change agents in their communities. Student U provides curriculum for all content classes taught at Summer Academy, and mentor teachers work to ensure new educators have the tools they need to implement and assess each unit with fidelity. This role is designed for an experienced educator who will enjoy coaching brand-new and novice teachers, guiding new educators to implement Student U’s curriculum, ensuring Student U classrooms are culturally responsive and support the whole child, and contributing as a part of the larger Student U community.
