Mentor Teachers and Site Facilitators
Thank you for agreeing to host a Mason teacher candidate for their internship experience in your classroom or school. You play an integral role in preparing tomorrow’s educators and we appreciate your support of our teacher candidates!
Preparing for your Mason Teacher Candidate
The Teacher Track Office has developed an online series of modules for Mentoring Mason Teacher Candidates where new mentor teachers can review expectations for hosting a candidate, hone their supervising skills, and learn about Mason’s teacher education programs. The course concludes with the creation of a Teacher Candidate Tool Kit, a resource that will help welcome the teaching candidate into the mentor’s classroom.
Completion of the modules is highly recommended. It is a great way to prepare to welcome a Mason teacher candidate into your classroom. It is also a great way to earn recertification points toward your licensure renewal. Click here to get started with your training.
Mentor Teacher Handbook and Internship Manuals
Additional information on serving as a mentor teacher can be found in the Mentor Teacher Handbook. Internship Manuals can be found on the Student Internship Placements page.
Mentor Teacher Honorariums
The Teacher Track Office provides a small honorarium to mentor teachers in appreciation of their services.
Mentor teachers are required to submit the Mentor Teacher Pay Form AND a signed W-9 form no later than 30 days after the last day of internship in order to receive their honorarium. Please review the instructions on the Mentor Teacher Pay form and contact the Clinical Practice Specialist at internsh@gmu.edu with any questions.
