For the last 3 years, I have managed the Beginning Teacher and Induction and Mentoring program. Teachers with less than 5 years experience, or those with less than 3 years in the district can receive a mentor. Mentors are selected based on experience and and ability. Principals nominate Master teachers and they are matched with new teachers. The new teacher watches the mentor teacher in her own classroom, the mentor watches the new teacher in her own classroom and then they debrief. They work together turning the new teacher's weaknesses into strengths. They spend about 30 hours in the year and the mentors get $1000 per new teacher.

That is a really good program. I have to do that in my district on my campus for $0 extra. I have been working with several teachers who need mentoring. You would definitely earn the $1000.
