- Abstract
Teacher retention is a problem in public schools that can and should be addressed through mentoring programs. Wicomico County Public Schools on the eastern shore of Maryland has a successful new teacher mentoring and induction program that helps retain new teachers. The mentoring program has three major components. A summer workshop is offered that focuses on rules, procedures, and routines. Monthly professional development sessions occur for all teachers with 3 or fewer years of experience. Perhaps the most powerful component of the mentoring program is the one-on-one mentoring offered by highly skilled mentors.
