Evergreen Model Program
The Evergreen Model Program is a one-year program of job embedded professional growth in which teachers refine and enhance teaching skills through a participation in coaching cycles. The credentialed teacher is matched with an experienced teacher who is their mentor for one year. The Evergreen Model focuses on providing just in time support within the professional work setting. The purpose of program is to support each teacher in a collaborative learning community.
Mentors
The Evergreen School District believes that providing new teachers with mentor support is essential to our teachers' professional growth. Mentors provide leadership as a mentor to a teacher candidate. They guide the teacher candidate through the goal development, the inquiry process, and overall professional growth throughout their two years of Induction. The Evergreen School District Induction Program employs mentors who are full-time classroom teachers and qualified retired teachers.
New Employees
Teachers with a clear credential who are new to the Evergreen School District are eligible to participate in the Evergreen Model. Participants in the program receive one year of mentor support to guide their transition to their new assignment.
