Listen to this edWeb podcast to learn about a union-led program designed to support and retain early-career teachers through complementary supports: a building-based mentor and a virtual instructional coach. While the program focused mainly on teacher induction, it simultaneously elevated the mentors and coaches—practicing teachers themselves—into teacher leadership roles that allowed them to share expertise and grow in their own practices.

Panelists also delve into the collaborative work alumni mentors and coaches did following the pilot program to design resources and professional learning for current mentors and coaches. This panel of three mentors and one coach reflects on and discusses what it was like to be empowered as teacher leaders through these various opportunities within this pilot program, and what advice these experienced teacher leaders would give to leaders who are looking to elevate more teachers into such roles.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, and anyone interested in teacher retention and induction.
