+One of the most important supports for the NTI program is the mentors. As a district leader you play and important role in who you recommend to serve as an instructional mentor for new teachers in your district. At the beginning of each calendar year district leaders, District School Coordinators, principals and directors, are asked to consider recommending teachers who have the gifts for mentoring.  Teachers apply to the program between January 2 to March 1 and they need to have the recommendation of their administrator. This application timeline allows mentors to be approved and begin their training in the summer when they begin working with a new teacher.
