Mentor Program Information for 2024-25
Thank you for your interest in the AWSP mentoring program. At this time all available mentoring spots have been filled and all pairings are complete for the 24-25 school year.
If you have any questions regarding the mentor program please reach out to Macy Bruhy.
For Mentors
All funds for mentoring will now be secured directly through the AWSP office. If you are assigned a mentee you will be provided with an invoice template that can be used to invoice AWSP.
AWSP and OSPI will be working collaboratively to determine appropriate mentor allocations depending on the number of requests received.
AWSP will continue their long-standing practice of pairing mentees with trained mentors and providing professional learning supports.
Why Mentoring Matters
The principalship is more demanding than ever. Principals are creating the culture, systems, and instructional conditions necessary for all children to achieve at high levels in an economic and social context that is complex, challenging and fraught with inequity for children and families.
Mentoring can support the development of new school administrators as instructional leaders and increase principal and assistant principal retention, contributing to greater stability in school reform efforts over time.
