Mentor Program
The mentor program in MCPS has been supporting new teachers for several years.
These mentors should be trained and are matched by the principal (classroom
teachers) or coordinator (in areas such as art, music, physical education,
guidance, etc.). Mentors will support educators in a variety of ways: setting
up their classrooms, introducing them to staff, helping to prepare the new
teachers for their classes, and confidential peer observations. Please check

Mentor Logs
The MCPS expectation is that all mentors document their work through online mentor logs. In order to make the system more accessible and easier to use, we have moved the mentor logs from the old Filemaker Pro system to the Professional Development Online (PDO) system.
Fall logs (i.e., September through January) are available through PDO. Mentors should have a Mentoring tab on their PDO homepage and an assigned mentee. If you do not have a tab or a mentee by the end of October, please email Susan Mitchell or call 301-217-5100 between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. More information may be found in the PDO Guide to Online Mentor Logs.
Spring logs (i.e., February through June) will be available through PDO.
