Every new teacher who finds employment within the school district is assigned a mentor by the state of North Carolina. The mentor is typically within the school in which the new employee works and may be in the new teacher s subject area.
Fellows who successfully complete the North Carolina Rural Teaching Fellows Online Program are assigned an additional mentor called a Content Cognitive Coach. Unlike the state-assigned mentor, this Content Cognitive Coach will be a licensed educator in the subject area in which the Fellow teaches. This Coach will also work more closely with the newly employed Fellow to address issues or concerns with lesson planning, classroom management, engaging and motivating students to optimize learning, and working with parents and community members to ensure the interests and needs of all students are met within the classroom.
The Content Cognitive Coach is an available resource to assist the newly-hired Fellow with his/her transition into the profession during the first full year of employment. The Content Cognitive Coach is not an administrator who evaluates or passes judgment on the newly-hired Fellow. This person s job is to assist and provide encouragement.
