{"A":"Stafford County Public Schools","B":"Mentor 360","C":"Mentor 360 is an innovative, systematic, full circle support program provided to first year educators in Stafford County Public Schools. The ultimate goal is to provide the support for each new hire to craft a strength-based professional identity with our full circle of support. Upon hire, educators are paired with a highly-skilled and trained job-alike mentor. Mentors and mentees collaboratively create a personalized system of support, cognitive challenge, and professional vision tailored to the strengths and unique experience of each new educator. Mentor 360 also offers a New Teacher Institute (NTI) on-boarding program at the start of the academic year, a three-day Foundations in Teaching course that builds a common vocabulary and professional network among new educators, a weekly professional development web series, quarterly new educator social gatherings, subscription to a bi-weekly Full Circle Newsletter, and monthly school-based mentoring sessions facilitated by the school lead mentor Ambassador.
